Accumulation Distribution Line
Accumulation/Distribution Line assess the cumulative flow of money into and out of a security. The signals for the Accumulation/Distribution Line are fairly straightforward and center around the concepts of divergence and confirmation. A bullish signal is given when the Accumulation/Distribution Line forms a positive divergence. A bearish signal is given when the Accumulation/Distribution Line for

Average True Range ATR
The Average True Range (ATR), identifies periods of high and low volatility in the market. High volatility indicates a market with large price fluctuations, whereas low volatility signals a market that is in a trading range, with small price movements. Moreover, markets with high price fluctuation have a higher risk-to-reward ratio, as prices tend to rise and fall in a short period of time.

Beta
A historical measure of an investments volatility relative to a market index (usually the S&P 500). The index is defined as having a beta of 1.00. Investments with a beta higher than 1.00 have been more volatile than the index; those with a beta of less than 1.00 have been less volatile.

Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are indicators that allowe users to compare volatility and relative price levels over a period time. The indicators consists of three bands (SMA, SMA+2 standard deviations, SMA-2 standard deviations) designed to encompass the majority of a securitys price action. In addition to identifying relative price levels and volatility, Bollinger Bands can be combined with stock price change

Chaikin Money Flow CMF
Chaikin Money Flow oscillator is calculated from the daily readings of the Accumulation/Distribution Line. The basic premise behind the Accumulation Distribution Line is that the degree of buying or selling pressure can be determined by the location of the close relative to the high and low for the corresponding period (Closing Location Value). There is buying pressure when a stock closes in the u

Chaikin Oscillator CO
The Chaikin Oscillator is simply the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) applied to the Accumulation/Distribution Line. The formula is the difference between (Period:) the 3-day exponential moving average and (Period 2:) the 10-day exponential moving average of the Accumulation/Distribution Line. There are two bullish signals that can be generated from the Chaikin Oscillator: po

Commodity Channel Index CCI
CCI measures the gap to a Moving Average, helping detect the beginning and the end of market trends. The CCI is calculated as the difference between the price of a share and the average price over a specified period. The result is then compared with the average difference over the period. Values between +100 and -100 indicate a sideways market. Bullishness is confirmed when the index crosses +100

Exponential Moving Average EMA
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) reduces the lag in simple moving averages by applying more weight to recent prices relative to older prices. The weighting applied to the most recent price depends on the specified period of the moving average. The shorter the EMAs period (Period (days)), the more weight that will be applied to the most recent price.

Keltner Channels KC
Keltner Channels are 2 lines (upper and lower), suggesting that prices have the greatest probability of trading within the boundaries set by the upper and lower lines. Prices that fluctuate outside of these borders represent trading opportunities. Within Period (days): user can define the period used to calculate Keltner Channels.

MACD is the difference between a fast Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a slow Exponential Moving Average and the fast Moving Average is continually converging towards or diverging away from the slow Moving Average. Signal line is a the Exponential Moving Average of the MACD, plotted to identify changes in trends and market sentiment. The MACD study can be used to identify buy and sell signals.

Momentum MTM
The Momentum indicator is used to predict future trends on recent price action. When momentum is above the 100-line and rising, prices are increasing at an increasing rate. If momentum is above the 100 line but is declining, prices are still increasing but at a decreasing rate. On the other hand, when momentum is below the 100-line and falling, prices are decreasing at an increasing rate. If momen

Money Flow Index MFI
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is used to measure the strength of money flowing in and out of a security. The MFI helps identify market tops and bottoms. A value above 80 signals a possible top, and a reversal may be in order. Conversely, a value below 20 indicates a possible market bottom. The MFI is also used to identify divergence. If the price trends upward or hits a new significant high but the i

Moving Average Envelopes
A simple moving average line can be enhanced by surrounding the line pattern with parallel envelopes. These envelopes deviate from the the moving average line by a user-specified percentage (Percent (%)) in order to determine when prices have strayed from the moving average line by that percentage.

Moving Average MA
A simple moving average is formed by computing the average price of a security over a specified number of periods (Period (days)). Moving averages are one of the most popular and easy to use tools available to the technical analyst. They smooth a data series and make it easier to spot trends, something that is especially helpful in volatile markets.

On Balance Volume OBV
The concept behind the indicator: volume precedes price. OBV is a simple indicator that adds a periods volume when the close is up and subtracts the periods volume when the close is down. A cumulative total of the volume additions and subtractions forms the OBV line. This line can then be compared with the price chart of the underlying security to look for divergences or confirmation. A rising vol

The Percentage Volume Oscillator (PVO) is the percentage difference between two moving averages of volume. (Period) & (Period 2) The PVO can be used to identify periods of expanding or contracting volume in three different ways Centerline Crossovers: like the PPO, the PVO oscillates above and below the zero line. When PVO is positive, the shorter EMA of volume is greater than the longer EMA of

Price Channels
Price channels form boundaries above and below the price line and can be used as indicators of volatility. Price channels are created by specifying a number of periods that will chart an (Period (days)) high or low around the price line. Price channels can generate buy/sell signals at points of breakouts. When the price line breaks above or below the upper or lower price channel respectively, a ne
