And some usefull information as well (from Achelis:Technical Analysis from A to Z):
Standard Deviation indicator.
Standard Deviation is typically used as a component of
other indicators, rather than as a stand-alone indicator.
For example, Bollinger Bands are calculated by adding
a security's Standard Deviation to a moving average.
High Standard Deviation values occur when the data
item being analyzed (e.g., prices or an indicator) is
changing dramatically. Similarly, low Standard Deviation values occur
when prices are stable.
Many analysts feel that major tops are accompanied
with high volatility as investors struggle with both
euphoria and fear. Major bottoms are expected to be
calmer as investors have few expectations of profits.Bollinger Bands.
The difference between Bollinger Bands and envelopes is
envelopes are plotted at a fixed percentage above and
below a moving average, whereas Bollinger Bands are
plotted at standard deviation levels above and below a moving average. Since standard deviation is a measure of volatility,
the bands are self-adjusting: widening during volatile
markets and contracting during calmer periods.
Bollinger Bands were created by John Bollinger.
Bollinger Bands are usually displayed on top of security prices,
but they can be displayed on an indicator.
These comments refer to bands displayed on prices.
As with moving average envelopes, the basic interpretation of
Bollinger Bands is that prices tend to stay within
the upper- and lower-band. The distinctive characteristic of
Bollinger Bands is that the spacing between the bands
varies based on the volatility of the prices.
During periods of extreme price changes (i.e., high volatility),
the bands widen to become more forgiving.
During periods of stagnant pricing (i.e., low volatility),
the bands narrow to contain prices.
Mr. Bollinger notes the following characteristics of
Bollinger Bands:
- Sharp price changes tend to occur after the bands tighten,
as volatility lessens.
- When prices move outside the bands, a continuation of
the current trend is implied.
- Bottoms and tops made outside the bands followed by
bottoms and tops made inside the bands call for reversals in the trend.
- A move that originates at one band tends to go all
the way to the other band. This observation is useful
when projecting price targets.Average True Range.
It was introduced by Welles Wilder in his book,
New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, and
has since been used as a component of many indicators
and trading systems.
Wilder has found that high ATR values often occur
at market bottoms following a "panic" sell-off.
Low Average True Range values are often found
during extended sideways periods, such as those
found at tops and after consolidation periods.
The Average True Range can be interpreted using
the same techniques that are used with the other
volatility indicators. Refer to the discussion on
Standard Deviation for additional information on
volatility interpretation.Chaikin's Volatility indicator.
a security's high and low prices. It quantifies volatility
as a widening of the range between the high and the low price.
There are two ways to interpret this measure of volatility.
One method assumes that market tops are generally
accompanied by increased volatility (as investors
get nervous and indecisive) and that the latter stages
of a market bottom are generally accompanied
by decreased volatility (as investors get bored).
Another method (Mr. Chaikin's) assumes that an increase
in the Volatility indicator over a relatively short time
period indicates that a bottom is near (e.g., a panic sell-off)
and that a decrease in volatility over a
longer time period indicates an approaching top
(e.g., a mature bull market).
As with almost all experienced investors,
Mr. Chaikin recommends that you do not rely
on any one indicator. He suggests using a moving
average penetration or trading band system
to confirm this (or any) indicator.Igorad developed some new indicators:
- Efficiency_v1 with different kinds of noise's calculation.
- Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF).
- AdvancedAMA.Hi,
What's the relationship between dotted and solid line ? Is it no trade zone if dotted line is above solid line ?
Hi, What's the relationship between dotted and solid line ? Is it no trade zone if dotted line is above solid line ?
Which indicator?
Which indicator?
Efficiency_v1 and Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF).
Efficiency_v1 and Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF).
I don't know exactly about how to use those indicators.
There are two lines in VHF: one is for noise (solid line) and he other one is for "something" without noise. May be i am wrong.
Efficiency_v1 is something to avoid noisy movement as well.
I will need to spend more time to understand about how to use those indicators. Sorry.
I fount very interesting indicator inside my computer. If we change the settings of this indicator so it may be very usefull for this thread https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/175824
I apologize if this is in the wrong section but I need some help.
Does anyone know of a version of either FX Sniper's MA or LSMA with color that also includes alerts?
Or can someone help me insert alerts into either, preferably FX Sniper's MA?
Thanks for any help!
