Adding Average True Range (ATR) channels to Force Index had been suggested by Kerry Lovvorn. Adding these channels turns Force Index into an excellent tool for identifying intermediate tops and bottoms. Force Index with ATR channels does not catch all turns, but the ones it identifies deserve very serious attention. Note: the word “true” in Average True Range refers to dealing with price gaps. Since there are no gaps in Force Index, here ATR is the same as the Average Range. Whenever the Force

One of the key rules in trading is never move your stops in such a way that your risk increases. Our stop sequence shows the automatic tightening of stops. They appear as a series of decreasing risk points until the trade is eventually stopped out. The problem is that if you enter a trade at any other point than the initial dot of the sequence, you may be placing the stop too close. Stop-entry plots show you the initial value for the stop for each bar. You can use them when you put on a trade

SafeZone is a method for setting stops on the basis of recent volatility, outside the level of market noise. It is described in "Come into my Trading Room" book. In a downtrend, SafeZone defines noise as the portion of the current bar that extends above the high of the previous bar, against the downtrend. It averages the noise level over a period of time and multiplies it by a trader-selected factor. For short trades, it adds the average noise level, multiplied by a factor, to the latest

SafeZone is a method for setting stops on the basis of recent volatility, outside the level of market noise. It is described in "Come into my Trading Room" book. In an uptrend, SafeZone defines noise as that portion of the current bar that extends below the low of the previous bar, going against the prevailing trend. It averages the noise level over a period of time and multiplies it by a trader-selected factor. For long trades, SafeZone subtracts the average noise level, multiplied by a factor

The Market Thermometer is described in "Come into my Trading Room" book.  It measures the degree of volatility, as reflected in greater or smaller intraday ranges. When the Market Temperature spikes above its average or stays below its average for a number of days, it gives trading signals, as described in the book. Parameters: Thermometer_EMA_Length (22) – The length of the moving average of the Market Temperature. The default 22, the average number of trading days in a month

MACD Histogram tracks the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line (which is the exponential moving average of the first line). For better visibility, when plotting the lines and the histogram in the same window, we scale up the histogram by a factor of 2. Furthermore, we use two separate plots for the histogram, which allows us to color-code the bars for upticks and downticks. The MACD Combo overlays MACD lines on MACD Histogram. Putting both plots in the same window enables you to

The MACD XOver indicator was developed by John Bruns to predict the price point at which MACD Histogram will reverse the direction of its slope. The indicator is plotted one day ahead into the future, allowing, if your strategy depends on MACD Histogram, to predict its reversal point for tomorrow (or the next bar in any timeframe). If the closing price tomorrow is above the value of this indicator, then MACD Histogram will tick up. If the closing price tomorrow is below the value of this

The Smoothed ROC indicator, developed by Fred Schutzman, is described in "Trading for a Living" book. It is created by calculating the rate of change for an exponential moving average of closing prices. When it changes direction, it helps identify and confirm trend changes. Parameters Smoothing_EMA_Length (13) – The length of the EMA used for smoothing; ROC_Period (21) – The length of the rate of change calculation

The Chandelier Exit, introduced by Charles LeBeau, is described in "Come into My Trading Room" book. It calculates each stop on a short position in a downtrend from the lowest point reached during that decline. The Chandelier Exit uses a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR), adding it to the lowest low since the trade was entered. It creates a new trade whenever the previous trade is stopped out. Chandelier Stops differ from traditional stops by having the ability to move against you if the

The Chandelier Exit, introduced by Charles LeBeau, is described in "Come into My Trading Room" book. It calculates each stop on a long position in an uptrend from the highest point reached during that rally, and gets its name from the chandelier, which hangs from the highest point in the room. The Chandelier Exit uses a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR), subtracting it from the highest high since the trade was entered. It creates a new trade whenever the previous trade is stopped out

The Impulse System was first described in "Come into my Trading Room" book. It uses the direction of both the MACD-Histogram and an exponential moving average (EMA) of price to define an impulse. The rule is never to trade against the impulse. Its color code gives you several signals: When both the EMA and MACD-Histogram are rising, the Impulse system colors the bar color is green (no shorting permitted). When both the EMA and MACD-Histogram are falling, the Impulse system colors the bar color

The purpose of Impulse Release is to prevent trading in the wrong direction. While the Impulse System operates in a single timeframe, Impulse Release is based on two timeframes. It tracks both the longer and the shorter timeframes to find when the Impulse points in the same direction on both. Its color bar flashes several signals: If one timeframe is in a buy mode and the other in a sell mode, the signal is "No Trade Allowed", a  black bar. If both are neutral, then any trades are allowed

Elder-Ray is made of both Bulls Power and Bears Power as described in "Come into my Trading Room" book. It is tracking the relative power of bulls and bears by measuring how far the high and the low of each bar get away from the average price. Elder-ray is an indicator developed by Dr. Elder and named for its similarity to x-rays. It shows the structure of bullish and bearish power below the surface of the markets. Elder-ray combines a trendfollowing moving average with two oscillators to show
