How It Works:

  1. HLC Calculation:

    • The indicator uses an average of the High, Low, and Close prices of a given period (e.g., a day, hour, or minute) to calculate its value.

  2. Trend Identification:

    • The HLC Trend Indicator smooths the HLC price data using a moving average (e.g., Simple Moving Average or Exponential Moving Average) to identify the overall trend direction.

    • When the HLC UpTrend line is rising or crossing above the DownTrend line, it suggests an uptrend.

    • When the HLC DownTrend line is rising, or crossing above the UpTrend line, it suggests a downtrend.

  3. Customization:

    • The indicator can be customized by adjusting the period of the moving average or incorporating other technical tools like volume or momentum indicators for confirmation.

Advantages:

  • Simplicity: It is easy to understand and interpret.

  • Trend Clarity: It helps filter out market noise and highlights the underlying trend.

  • Versatility: It can be applied to various timeframes and asset classes (stocks, forex, commodities, etc.).

Limitations:

  • Lagging Nature: Like most trend-following indicators, it may lag behind sudden price movements.

  • False Signals: In choppy or sideways markets, it may generate false signals.

Volatility Quality Index

Volatility Quality Indicator (VQI) is a technical indicator that was developed to identify quality stocks with low volatility. The indicator is based on the assumption that assets with low volatility are less risky and more stable. The original concept by Thomas Stridsman was first published in 2002 and can be found in the Technical Analysis section of Stocks and Commodities magazine.

Volume Flow Indicator

VFI,introduced by Markos Katsanos, is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications: * Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish. * The calculation is based on the day's median (typical price) instead of the closing price. * A volatility threshold takes into account minimal price changes and another threshold eliminates excessive volume. A simplified interpretation of the VFI is: * Values above zero indicate a bullish state and the crossing of the zero line is the trigger or buy signal. * The strongest signal with all money flow indicators is of course divergence.

Ultimate Strength Index

This indicator implements the Ultimate Strength Index (USI) indicator, introduced by John Ehlers in his article titled "Ultimate Strength Index (USI)" from the November 2024 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips. The USI is a modified version of Wilder's original Relative Strength Index (RSI) that incorporates Ehlers' UltimateSmoother lowpass filter to produce an output with significantly reduced lag.
