Straddle / strangle buy or sell indicatorStraddle / strangle buy or sell indicator developed by Chobotaru Brothers.
You need to have basic knowledge in option trading to use this indicator!
The indicator shows P&L lines of the options strategy. Use only for stocks since the mathematical model of options for Future instruments is different from stocks. Plus, the days' representation in futures is also different from stocks (stocks have fewer days than futures ).
***Each strategy in options is based on different mathematical equations, use this indicator only for the strategy in the headline.***
What does the indicator do?
The indicator is based on the Black-Scholes model, which uses partial differential equations to determine the option pricing. Due to options non-linear behavior, it is hard to visualize the option price. The indicator calculates the solutions of the Black-Scholes equation and plots them on the chart so traders can view how the option pricing will behave.
How the indicator does it?
The indicator uses five values (four dominants and one less dominant) to solve the Black-Scholes equation. The values are stock price, the strike price of the option, time to expiration, risk-free interest rate, and implied volatility .
How the indicator help the users?
-View the risks and rewards so you can know the profit targets in advance which means you can compare different options in different strikes.
-View the volatility change impact so you can know the risk and the P&L changes in case of a change in the volatility over the life of the option before you enter the trade.
-View the passage of time impact so you can know where and when you could realize a profit.
-Multi-timeframes so you can stay on the same chart (Daily and below).
All these features are to help the user improve his analysis while trading options.

🔔 Alert Notifications : Set alerts for trend shifts to stay ahead of market movements.
📈 Visual Signals : Displays trend direction changes directly on the chart with up and down arrows.
Quick Guide to Using the Trend Magic Enhanced Indicator
🛠 Add the Indicator : Add the indicator to your chart by pressing the star icon to add it to favorites. Customize settings such as CCI period, ATR multiplier, ATR period, smoothing options, and colors to match your trading style.
📊 Analyze the Chart : Observe the Trend Magic line and the color-coded trend signals. When the Trend Magic line turns bullish (e.g., green), it indicates an upward trend, and when it turns bearish (e.g., red), it indicates a downward trend. Use the visual arrows to spot trend direction changes.
🔔 Set Alerts : Enable alerts to receive notifications when a trend shift is detected, so you can act promptly on trading opportunities without constantly monitoring the chart.
How It Works:
The Trend Magic Enhanced indicator integrates the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Average True Range (ATR) to calculate a dynamic Trend Magic line. By adjusting price levels based on CCI values—upward when CCI is positive and downward when negative—and factoring in ATR for market volatility, it creates adaptive support and resistance levels. Optionally smoothed with various moving averages to reduce noise, the indicator changes line color based on trend direction, highlights trend changes with arrows, and provides alerts for significant shifts, aiding traders in identifying potential entry and exit points.
Enhancements Over the Original Trend Magic Indicator
The Trend Magic Enhanced indicator significantly refines the trend identification method of the original Trend Magic script by introducing customizable smoothing options and additional analytical features. While the original indicator determines trend direction solely based on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) crossing above or below zero and adjusts the Magic Trend line using the Average True Range (ATR), the enhanced version allows users to smooth the Magic Trend line with various moving average types (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA). This smoothing reduces market noise and provides clearer trend signals. Additionally, the enhanced indicator incorporates price action analysis by detecting crossovers and crossunders of price with the Magic Trend line, and it visually marks trend changes with up and down arrows on the chart. These improvements offer a more responsive and accurate trend detection compared to the original method, enabling traders to identify potential entry and exit points more effectively.
Enhance your trading strategy with the Trend Magic Enhanced indicator by AlgoAlpha and gain a clearer perspective on market trends! 🌟📈
[blackcat] L3 Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI ScalingThis pine script that creates a custom indicator called the Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling. This indicator combines two well-known technical indicators - the VixFix and the RSI - to create a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
The VixFix is a technical indicator that helps identify market trends and volatility. It is based on the highest close of the past 22 bars and the lowest low of the same period. The VixFix is calculated as 100 times the difference between the highest close and the current low divided by the highest close. The indicator is inverted, meaning that high values indicate low volatility and low values indicate high volatility.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price action in a given period. It is calculated based on the closing prices of the selected asset. The RSI is scaled to a range between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions.
The Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling combines these two indicators to give a more comprehensive view of market conditions. The RSI is first scaled to a range between 0 and 100 using the RSI Length, RSI Overbought, and RSI Oversold inputs. The Inverted VixFix is then scaled to the same range as the RSI using the RSI Overbought and RSI Oversold inputs. The two indicators are then combined to create the Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling.
To smooth out the RSI, the script also uses the ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) function. This function is a type of moving average that uses a variable smoothing factor to give more weight to recent price action. In this script, the ALMA is applied to the scaled RSI with a length of 3, a offset of 0.58, and a sigma of 6.
To help visualize the indicator, the script also creates visual elements such as threshold lines and fills. The Bull Threshold line is drawn at the RSI Overbought level and the Bear Threshold line is drawn at the RSI Oversold level. A fill is then created between these two lines using the color purple and opacity set to 70%.
Overall, the Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling is a useful tool for traders looking for a more comprehensive view of market conditions. By combining the VixFix and RSI indicators, this script provides a more nuanced view of market trends and volatility.
Percent Change Bar ChartThis script shows the percentage with regards the previous bars, the loopback period can be changed (default 1), so you can see how it fluctuates with the market and volatility
Profit Bands [Loxx]Profit Bands is a supplementary indicator to be used with Loxx's backtests and combination indicators that use volatility-based take profits and stop loss. This indicator includes two types of volatility: Average True Range and True Range Double. Additional volatility sources will be added in the future. The lines painted on the screen are multiples of ATR for Take Profits and Stoploss for Long/Short positions that you can change in the settings. 3 Take Profits and 1 Stoploss is supported. You can turn on/off each UI element. Position size is determined by calculating the size of an investment where you'd lose only X% of your balance if the Stoploss is hit. You can enter your total balance available to trade and the desired % risk you'd be willing to lose at SL. Typically this number is 1-2% of total balance per trade.
Always remember to wait for bar close on a signal to and then peg this indicator to 1 bar backward to fix the price levels the then seed the exact levels you'll use for Take Profits and Stoploss. This indicator will match exactly the levels in other indicators in Loxx's scripts such as Kaleidoscope. You would overlay this script over any other script that uses volatility stops to see where to place your TPs and SL
Tempo V | QuantEdgeB📊 Tempo V | QuantEdgeB
🔍 What is Tempo V?
Tempo V by QuantEdgeB is a volatility resonance framework that fuses multiple volatility models into a single adaptive signal. It acts like a seismograph for market energy, detecting shifts in pressure, flow, and agitation before they erupt into full-blown volatility waves.
Rather than just measure price range, Tempo V decodes the texture of volatility — layering Z-Score logic over 7 elite volatility and energy signals to create a unified tempo pulse.
💡 Think of Tempo V as your market EQ meter, identifying when price is humming calmly or vibrating toward breakout chaos.
⚙️ Core Components

Stocks ATR V2 📘 Description — Stocks AT SL V2
“Stocks AT SL V2” is a risk management indicator designed to help traders define dynamic stop-loss levels based on actual market volatility and advanced statistical analysis of price movements.
⸻
🎯 Purpose
This tool provides a rational and adaptive framework for stop-loss placement, taking into account:
Market volatility, measured by the Average True Range (ATR),
And a statistical safety buffer, based on the 95th percentile of historical price retracements.
⸻
⚙️ Methodology
ATR Calculation:
The indicator uses a 14-period ATR to measure recent average volatility.
Safety Factor (k) Estimation:
The script computes a set of ratios between the candle’s minimal retracement (relative to the previous close) and the current ATR.
The 95th percentile of these ratios is extracted to define a multiplicative factor k, representing common price extremes.
Final Stop-Loss:
The stop-loss is set at a distance of k × ATR below (or above) the entry price.
This helps reduce false stop-outs while allowing room for natural market movement—even in volatile conditions.
⸻
✅ Benefits
Automatically adapts to volatility.
Reflects real candlestick structure (not just arbitrary distances).
Standardizes risk across different stocks or currency pairs.
Tremor Tracker [theUltimator5]Tremor Tracker is a volatility monitoring tool that visualizes the "tremors" of price action by measuring and analyzing the average volatility of the current trading range, working on any timeframe. This indicator is designed to help traders detect when the market is calm, when volatility is building, and when it enters a potentially unstable or explosive state by using a lookback period to determine the average volatility and highlights outliers.
🔍 What It Does
Calculates bar-level volatility as the percentage difference between the high and low of each candle.
Applies a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) to smooth out short-term noise and highlight trends in volatility.
Compares current volatility to its long-term average over a configurable lookback period.
Dynamically colors each volatility bar based on how extreme it is relative to historical behavior:
🟢 Lime — Low volatility (subdued, ranging conditions)
🟡 Yellow — Moderate or building volatility
🟣 Fuchsia — Elevated or explosive volatility
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Low Volatility Limit and High Volatility Limit: Define the thresholds for color changes based on volatility's ratio to its average.
Volatility MA Length: Adjust the smoothing period for the volatility moving average.
Average Volatility Lookback: Set how many bars are used to calculate the long-term average.
MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA for smoothing.
Show Volatility MA Line?: Toggle the display of the smoothed volatility trendline.
Show Raw Volatility Bars?: Toggle the display of raw per-bar volatility with dynamic coloring.
🧠 Use Cases
Identify breakout conditions: When volatility spikes above average, it may signal the onset of a new trend or a news-driven breakout.
Avoid chop zones: Prolonged periods of low volatility often precede sharp moves — a classic “calm before the storm” setup.
Timing reversion trades: Detect overextended conditions when volatility is well above historical norms.
Adapt strategies by volatility regime: Use color feedback to adjust risk, position sizing, or strategy selection based on real-time conditions.
📌 Notes
Volatility is expressed as a percentage, making this indicator suitable for use across different timeframes and asset classes.
The tool is designed to be visually intuitive, so traders can quickly spot evolving volatility states without diving into raw numbers.
OG ATR RangeDescription:

Can be used to size trades or set dynamic stop-loss and target levels.
Best for:
Intraday traders who want to avoid unrealistic targets.
Volatility-based setups and breakout strategies.
Creating position sizing rules based on instrument volatility.
Pro Tip: Combine with your trend indicators to set sniper entries and exits that respect volatility.
RS ScanOverview
The RS Scan indicator helps traders analyze a stock's relative strength and volatility using multiple key metrics. It provides insights into where the stock is closing within its daily and weekly ranges, how far it has moved from its 52-week high, and how its price changes compare to its Average Daily Range (ADR).
Key Features
✅ Daily Close Range% – Shows the stock’s closing position within the day’s high-low range.
✅ Weekly Close Range% – Displays the stock’s closing position within the weekly high-low range.
✅ Stock Price Change% – Measures how much the stock has moved relative to its 52-week high.
✅ ADR% (Average Daily Range) – Calculates the stock’s average daily volatility over a given period (default: 20 days).
✅ ADR off 52W High – Indicates how many ADR multiples the stock has moved from its 52-week high.
How to Use
Identify Strength: Stocks closing near the high of their daily/weekly range show strong momentum.
Measure Volatility: The ADR% helps traders understand expected price fluctuations.
Detect Weakness: A stock trading far below its 52-week high with a low close range may indicate weakness.
Compare Price Change vs. ADR: If a stock is significantly down from its 52-week high but within a small ADR range, it may be consolidating.
Screening Example: If SPY is currently less than -3 ADR from its 52-week high, we can filter for stocks that are performing stronger by selecting those above -3 ADR. This helps in identifying stocks with relative strength compared to the broader market.
This indicator is useful for momentum traders, swing traders, and those tracking relative strength.

GARCH(1,1) [victhoreb]Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity p,q = 1 (GARCH(1,1))
The GARCH model is a generalized version of the ARCH statistical model, which describes the variance of the current error term (innovation) as a function of the magnitudes of the previous periods' error terms. Essentially, the GARCH model provides an estimate of the average volatility.
The model assumes that the time series { xₜ | t ∈ T } is given by:
xₜ = μₜ + εₜ
where:
- μₜ is the conditional mean of the series.
- εₜ represents the residual shocks, defined as above, and it is assumed that εₜ ∼ N(0, σₜ²) (this assumption, although important for statistical inference, may not hold perfectly in practice as residuals can exhibit heavier tails).
The conditional variance is estimated by:
σₜ₊₁² = ω + α · εₜ² + β · σₜ²
where:
- ω is a constant ensuring the variance remains positive;
- α measures the impact of recent shocks (the effect of the squared residuals);
- β represents the persistence of past volatility.
(!) It is important that α + β < 1 for the process to be stationary.
(!) The parameters ω, α, and β are assumed to be non-negative real numbers.
Here, σₜ₊₁ represents the forecasted volatility for the next period (t+1).
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. In the first bar, the future conditional variance σₜ₊₁² is defined as εₜ². This initialization is arbitrary and serves to start the recursive process. Alternative initialization methods may be used depending on the data.
2. The normality assumption εₜ ∼ N(0, σₜ²) facilitates statistical inference, though in practice the residuals might not follow a perfect normal distribution. Statistical tests and graphical analysis can be applied to assess normality and, if necessary, alternative distributions (such as Student's t or GED) may be employed.
3. The conditional mean μₜ is estimated using a weighted moving average (WMA) of the hl2 value (the average of the high and low), which acts as a proxy for the level of the series. In this setup, xₜ is set to hl2, and the model computes the conditional volatility for the next bar.
ADDITIONAL INDICATOR (MA):
An extra moving average (MA) calculated using GARCH(1,1) is plotted on the chart (its plot is optional and it can be changed in the indicator settings).
Adaptive On Balance Volume with Trend█ Introduction
The Adaptive On Balance Volume (AOBV) indicator enhances the traditional On Balance Volume (OBV) by introducing adaptability, volatility detection, and trend analysis. It helps traders identify the direction of volume flow, assess volume momentum, and spot potential reversals in the market.
Detecting market tops and bottoms is crucial for making informed trading decisions. The AOBV indicator offers a method for identifying these points by using an adaptive volatility detection function that highlights potential volume peaks or climaxes, suggesting when a price top or bottom may be forming.
█ Understanding the AOBV
Note: Details on how calculations are conducted can be found at the end of this script description.
1. The Basics of the AOBV Function:
• Adaptive Momentum Calculation: Instead of using a fixed momentum formula, the AOBV uses the original formula for basic momentum and enhances it based on relative strength and applies an adaptive smoothing function.
• Dynamic Smoothing:
• Strong Momentum: When the AOBV detects significant changes (strong momentum), it reduces smoothing. This makes the indicator more responsive to major market movements.
• Weak Momentum: When momentum is weak (small changes), it increases smoothing to filter out market noise.
This adaptability allows the AOBV to more accurately reflect volume momentum, responding promptly during significant market moves and remaining stable during quieter periods.
To determine the trend direction (bullish or bearish), the indicator calculates a signal curve and displays the difference as bars:
• Bar Above the Middle Line: Indicates a bullish trend.
• Bar Below the Middle Line: Indicates a bearish trend.
2. Volatility Function:
The volatility function measures how much the AOBV deviates from its average by comparing it to its smoothed version. It calculates the exponential standard deviation to estimate volatility.
• Purpose: Identifies when volume momentum is near a climax or when a trend is nearing exhaustion.
• How It Works:
• Compares current volatility to previous bars.
• Computes a percentage indicating how often the current volatility is higher than past values.
• If this percentage exceeds a defined threshold, it signals a significant volatility event by plotting a dot above or below the bar.
This pattern typically manifests itself during strong runs on price followed by a period of consolidation. Thus, estimating volatility would be an acceptable measure of when a market is reaching or nearing an implied top or bottom.
3. The Trend Function:
The trend function combines several common indicators to gauge buildup toward a reversal or a continuation of a trend when the AOBV changes direction.
• Components:
• AOBV Strength Percentage: Calculates the percentage change in the AOBV to gauge its strength and direction.
• Supertrend Indicator: Acts as the main driver for trend buildup.
• Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF): Measures market consolidation, adjusting the trend strength accordingly.
• Adaptive RSI: Further refines the trend strength based on volume momentum.
• Trend Ranking:
• Assigns a trend rank to the AOBV that reflects both market direction and momentum.
• Colors are used to represent different trend strengths: Strong Bullish, Bullish, Strong Bearish, and Bearish.
█ How to Use the AOBV
• Above the Middle Line: Suggests a bullish trend.
• Below the Middle Line: Suggests a bearish trend
• The Volatility dots:
• Indicate strong momentum relative to previous bars.
• Signal that the trend may be nearing a climax or exhaustion.
• Can imply a potential market top or bottom.
• Consolidation can be detected by visually comparing current bars to previous ones. This should be obvious since, and as described, the AOBV bars represent volume momentum.
• The trend function is used to gauge the likelihood of a reversal or a continuation of a trend; trend is represented with several colors: strong bullish trend, bullish trend, strong bearish trend, and finally simply a bearish trend.
It is important to understand that this trend function is not the typical trend function found on other technical indicators. It must be viewed within the context of the AOBV momentum. For example, if AOBV is exerting a bullish trend (bars above middle line), then a bearish trend with no major change in momentum and no volatility indication could mean a false reversal. Conversely, a large charge in AOBV could be a strong indication of a market reversal.
█ Key Features
• Two Display Modes: Curve and Bars:
The Adaptive OBV can be viewed in two different display modes: Curve and Bars Mode. "Curve Mode" offers the classic OBV representation (but as AOBV) with trend, while "Bars Mode" incorporates volatility detection and trend, making it the recommended mode.
• Volatility Function:
• Dots appear above or below the volume bars when significant volatility events are detected.
• The sensitivity can be adjusted by changing the percentage threshold.
• Trend Analysis:
• Helps gauge the likelihood of a trend continuation or reversal.
• Uses color-coded trend ranks for easy interpretation.
• Flexible Lookback Period:
Lookback periods for the main AOBV, its signal line, trend function, and volatility function can be customized.
• Recommendations:
• Match the main lookback period with the volatility period: Ensures consistency in momentum and volatility measurements.
• Match the trend lookback period with the signal AOBV lookback period: Aligns trend analysis with the underlying momentum signals.
Below is a sample demonstrating the utility on a 1- minute chart.
█ Calculation Details:
• AOBV Calculations
The AOBV differs the traditional OBV by focusing on the differences in OBV values rather than absolute price movements. Initially, it calculates the standard OBV by accumulating volume based on whether the closing price is higher or lower than the previous close. Next, it computes the difference between the current OBV and the previous OBV to measure changes in volume momentum. It calculates the average net change and average total change of these OBV differences over a specified period using a selected averaging method (e.g., EMA, SMA). By dividing the average net change by the average total change, it obtains a change ratio that reflects the strength and direction of volume momentum.
This change ratio is then scaled to an RSI-like value between 0 and 100, which is used to derive an adaptive smoothing factor (alpha). The alpha adjusts dynamically—when the change ratio indicates strong momentum, alpha increases, making the indicator more responsive to recent changes; when momentum is weak, alpha decreases, increasing smoothing to filter out noise.
The adaptive OBV is calculated by applying this alpha to combine the current OBV and the previous adaptive OBV value. This adaptive smoothing allows the indicator to adjust its sensitivity based on market conditions, becoming more responsive during strong momentum and more stable during weak momentum.
A smoothed OBV signal line is also computed using weighted moving averages for comparison. By analyzing the difference between the adaptive OBV and this smoothed signal line, the indicator identifies bullish or bearish trends. Positive differences suggest bullish momentum (bars above the middle line), while negative differences indicate bearish momentum (bars below the middle line).
• Volatility Calculations
The volatility function in the AOBV indicator identifies significant changes in volume momentum by estimating the variability of recent momentum shifts. It begins by calculating the difference between the AOBV and its smoothed signal line, capturing the current change in volume momentum. To assess volatility, the function employs exponential smoothing to compute adaptive averages of both the volume and the squared volume over a specified lookback period. By combining these averages, it estimates the current standard deviation of the volume momentum changes, effectively measuring how much the momentum deviates from its average level.
This estimated volatility is then compared to historical volatility values over the lookback period to determine how frequently the current volatility exceeds past levels. If the proportion of times the current volatility is higher than previous values and it surpasses a user-defined threshold, it signals a significant volatility event, indicating a potential volume climax
• Trend Calculations
As outlined earlier in description, the trend function is composed of several components:
The Supertrend indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance levels based on price movements and volatility using the Average True Range. It assesses whether the closing price is above or below these levels to determine the primary trend direction. If the price is above the Supertrend line: The market is considered to be in an uptrend. If the price is below the Supertrend line: The market is considered to be in a downtrend.
The Vertical Horizontal Filter measures the strength of the trend by comparing the price range over a period to the sum of absolute price changes. It does this by comparing the difference between the highest and lowest prices over a given period (the "vertical" movement) to the sum of the absolute differences between consecutive prices (the "horizontal" movement). A higher VHF value indicates a stronger, more directional trend, while a lower value suggests that the market is moving sideways without a clear trend.. If the VHF detects consolidation, it downgrades the trend strength indicated by the Supertrend. This prevents the trend function from overemphasizing the Supertrend's signals when the market lacks clear direction.
The Adaptive RSI Analyzes recent changes in the AOBV to identify whether volume momentum is strengthening or weakening (based on the volume percent change) correlating price movement with volume momentum. It only upgrades or downgrades on a bar by bar basis if price movement is correlating with percent change. This acts as a corrective measure against the VHF since quiet periods (consolidation) can occur between strong moves. The alpha generated from the adaptive function is the same as the one generated with the AOBV calculations.

GKD-C FATL Adaptive Smoother [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope FATL Adaptive Smoother is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: FATL Adaptive Smoother as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Finite Volume Elements
What is Finite Volume Elements
The Finite Volume Element Indicator ( FVE ) was developed by Markos Katsanos and introduced in the April 2003 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. It was modified for volatility in the September 2003 issue of TASC.
FVE is a money flow indicator but with two important differences from existing money flow indicators:
It resolves contradictions between intraday money flow indicators (such as Chaikin’s money flow ) and intraday money flow indicators (like On Balance Volume ) by taking into account both intra- and intraday price action.
Unlike other money flow indicators which add or subtract all volume even if the security closed just 1 cent higher than the previous close, FVE uses a volatility threshold to take into account minimal price changes
Other things to note
The GKD trading system requires that a GKD-V indicator be present in the indicator chain, but the GKD-V indicator doesn't need to be active. You can turn on/off the Volatility Ratio as you wish so you can backtest your trading strategy with the filter on or off.
Additional features will be added in future releases.
