Price based Technical Studies and Indicators

Back to the List of Studies

A list of price based technical indicators (studies) that are available with our charts appears below.

ADX - The Average Directional Index (ADX) was developed by J. Welles Wilder to evaluate the strength of a trend and to define period of sideways trading.

ADXR - ADXR stands for Average Directional Movement Index Rating. The ADXR is a component of the Directional Movement System developed by Welles Wilder. This system attempts to measure the strength of a price movement in positive and negative directions, as well as the overall strength of the trend.

Aroon Indicator - The Aroon indicator was developed by Tushar Chande in 1995 to determine whether or not a stock is trending and also the strength of the trend. The Aroon Indicator is used in price technical analysis to indicate the moments of possible changes in trend. A high above 70, Aroon (up), indicates a strong up-trend. A high above 70, Aroon (down) indicates a strong down-trend. At the same time, Aroon values below 50 indicate a weakening of the trend. The moment when the Aroon oscillator crosses the zero line can be considered to be a time for buying (if the oscillators move up) or selling (if the oscillators move down).

Average True Range - The Average True Range (ATR) indicator was developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 as a measurement of a security's volatility. The ATR indicator does not reflect price direction and is not used to predict prices, but this indicator is widely used in technical analysis to measure the degree of price movement or price volatility.

Commodity Chanel Index - The Commodity Chanel Index (CCI) was developed by Donald Lambert on the assumption that prices of commodities (or stocks or bonds) move in cycles (highs and lows that occur at periodic intervals) and with the intention of identifying cyclical turns. The Commodity Chanel Index oscillates about the zero line and, according to Lambert's theory, CCI values below -100 indicate an oversold security/index and can be used as a "Buy" signal. Conversely, CCI values above +100 indicate an overbought security/index and can be used as "Sell" signal.

Detrended Price Oscillator - Detrended Price Oscillator (DTO) is advanced version of PPO (Percentage price Oscillator)which is based on the price moving averages and used to define trend reversal points.

DMI - The Directional Movement Index (DX) was developed by J. Welles Wilder to evaluate the strength of a trend and to specify periods of sideways trading. The Directional Movement Index is a raw version of the ADX (Average Directional Index), which is calculated as an exponential moving average from the DX.

Heikin Ashi Candlesticks - Heikin Ashi Candlesticks is a weighted variation of regular candlesticks which was developed to omit small price fluctuation and volatility. There are five main types of candles that are used in technical analysis to generate trading signals.

Keltner Channel - This is indicator is based on the moving average bands that take into account volatility which is calculated from ATR (Average True Range .

Moving Average - Moving averages are among the most popular indicators used in technical analysis. Moving averages smooth out data. This is especially helpful in volatile markets. Price moving averages smooth prices and make it easier to identify the trend direction.

Displaced Moving Average - The Displaced MA (Moving Average) takes the current moving average and shifts it forward or backward in time by a specified number of bars.

Weighted Moving Average - Weighted moving average has been set to reduce lag noted in simple moving averages by emphasizing the MA calculation on the most recent price bars.

MACD - The MACD is simple and reliable. It is calculated as the difference between the fast and slow moving averages. A positive MACD indicates that the fast EMA is trading above the slow EMA, thereby indicating a bullish period. A negative MACD indicates that the fast EMA is trading below the slow EMA, thereby indicating a bearish period. When the faster moving average crosses the slower moving average - MACD crosses the center line.

MACD Histogram - The MACD-Histogram represents the difference between the MACD and its signals line (EMA). The simplest use of MACD Histogram is to use the points at which the indicator crosses the zero line. A buying signal can be generated as the MACD histogram crosses the zero line to rise above it and a sell signal can be generated as the histogram falls below zero.

Momentum - The Momentum Indicator is a simplified version of the ROC (Rate of Change) and measures a security's price change over a given time span.

Pivot Point - Pivot Point is a trading indicator used in technical analysis to determine stock's, index's or other commodity's sentiment and possible support and resistance levels.

Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) - The PPO is a percentage representation of MACD. All principles of technical analysis used with MACD can be applied to PPO. The PPO will generate signals similar to those generated by MACD. As a result, the PPO is widely used with the PPO-histogram which is analyzed in the same way as the MACD histogram.

Price Channel - Price channel has been developed to confirm completion of wave counts and could be used as a confirmation indicator in technical analysis.

Regression Curve - regression Curve is technical indicator developed to show fair value of tradable security (stock index) and is based on the linear regression calculations.

RSI - The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a trading indicator in the technical analysis of financial markets that is used to measure the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock, index (market) or any other financial commodity based on the closing prices of completed trading periods.

RSI Histogram - The Relative Strength Index (RSI) Signals Line and RSI Histogram are set to generate signals on crossovers of the RSI line and its signals line (exponential moving average plotted on the RSI).

TRIX - TRIX displays the percentage rate-of-change of a triple exponentially-smoothed moving average of a security's closing price in order to eliminate price movements that are insignificant to the larger trends.

Standard Deviation - In statistics, the Standard Deviation provides a good indication of volatility and is often called a volatility indicator. In technical analysis, this indicator is applied to the closing price of the bar to measure the extent of the dispersion of the values from the average closing price.

Stochastics - In technical analysis this oscillator is a momentum indicator that compares an equity's current closing price to its high/low range over a specified number of periods.

Double Stochastics - The Stochastics Double Oscillator is derived from the Stochastics oscillator by applying the Stochastics formula to the Stochastics itself instead of price.

Stochastics RSI - This technical Indicator applies the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the Stochastics formula, thus generating an oscillator that fluctuates between 0 and 1. As with many price oscillators, the Stochastic RSI can become overbought (or oversold) and remain that way for a long time. If the indicator stays above 0.8 for an extended period of time, it could indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, a quick move below 0.20 could indicate the beginning of a strong downtrend.

Rate of Change (ROC) - The Rate of Change (ROC) is a simple technical indicator that displays the percentage difference between the current price and the price n-time periods ago.

Up/Down Price - The "Up/Down Price" is a new indicator developed by the MarketVolume research team. The purpose of this indicator is to select prolonged trends and evaluate their magnitude.

Williams %R - The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams and is a momentum technical indicator that is used in technical analysis much like the Stochastic Oscillator.
