Indicators
82 indicators, eight families.
A curated catalogue — moving averages, trend, momentum, volatility, bands, volume, levels, and statistical tools. Each one ships with an in-app explainer that covers what it measures and how to read it.
Moving averages 11
Moving averages smooth price into a trend line by averaging recent values. They lag by design — a shorter average reacts faster and noisier, a longer one is slower and steadier — so they describe the recent past rather than forecast the next bar.
Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
A Gaussian-weighted moving average designed to cut lag while staying smooth.
Double Moving Average
Two moving averages of different lengths plotted together to compare short- and long-term trend.
GMMA
Guppy Multiple Moving Average — two ribbons of averages that set short-term traders against long-term holders.
HMA
Hull Moving Average — a fast, smooth average that reduces lag using weighted sub-averages.
KAMA
Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average — speeds up in trends and slows down in noise.
LSMA
Least Squares Moving Average — a line of best fit through recent prices, read at the current bar.
McGinley Dynamic
A moving average that self-adjusts to market speed to hug price more closely.
Moving Average
The building block — the average of the last N prices, with simple, exponential, and other modes.
Triple Moving Average
Three moving averages of increasing length to read short-, medium-, and long-term trend at once.
VWMA
Volume-Weighted Moving Average — an average that weights each price by its volume.
Zero Lag EMA
An EMA that subtracts its own lag to react faster to price changes.
Trend 10
Trend indicators describe whether a market is trending and how strongly, and some track where a trailing stop or reversal sits. They read the direction and force already in price, not what happens next.
ADX
Average Directional Index — measures how strong a trend is, regardless of direction.
Aroon
Tracks how recently price set its highest high and lowest low to gauge trend strength and change.
Chande Kroll Stop
A volatility-based trailing stop level that follows the trend.
DMI
Directional Movement Index — separates upward and downward movement to show which side is in control.
Ichimoku
A full trend system in one overlay: a cloud, baseline, and conversion line that frame support, resistance, and momentum.
Parabolic SAR
Trailing dots that follow price and flip to the other side when the trend reverses.
Super Trend
An ATR-based line that tracks the trend and flips when price crosses it.
Vortex
Two lines capturing positive and negative trend movement to identify the start of a trend.
Williams Alligator
Three smoothed averages that spread apart in trends and intertwine in ranges.
ZigZag
Filters out small moves to draw the significant swings, highlighting structure.
Momentum & oscillators 25
Momentum indicators measure the speed and size of recent moves, usually on a bounded scale. A high or low reading describes how energetic the move has been — context about a trend’s fuel, not an instruction.
Accelerator Oscillator
Measures whether momentum itself is speeding up or slowing down.
Accumulative Swing Index
A running total of swing values that tracks longer-term price trend and structure.
Awesome Oscillator
The gap between a fast and slow average of bar midpoints, showing market momentum.
Balance Of Power
Compares buying and selling strength within each bar’s range.
CCI
Commodity Channel Index — measures how far price sits from its statistical average.
CMO
Chande Momentum Oscillator — a pure measure of up-moves against down-moves.
Connors RSI
A composite of RSI, streak length, and rate-of-change built for short-term mean-reversion study.
Coppock Curve
A long-term momentum measure originally built to study major lows.
DPO
Detrended Price Oscillator — removes the trend to isolate shorter price cycles.
Elliott Wave Oscillator
The gap between two averages, used to help count and confirm Elliott waves.
Fisher Transform
Reshapes price into a sharper, more symmetric oscillator to make turns clearer.
Know Sure Thing
A smoothed momentum oscillator built from several rate-of-change periods.
MACD
The gap between a fast and slow average, with a signal line and histogram showing momentum.
Momentum
The simplest measure — how far price has moved over a set number of bars.
PPO
Percentage Price Oscillator — MACD expressed in percent, so it compares across instruments.
ROC
Rate of Change — the percent change in price over a set period.
RSI
Relative Strength Index — measures the speed and size of recent moves on a 0–100 scale.
Relative Vigor Index (RVI)
Compares closing strength to the bar’s range to gauge conviction behind a move.
SMI Ergodic Oscillator
A double-smoothed momentum oscillator with a signal line — a smoother take on the True Strength Index.
Stochastic
Shows where price closes within its recent high-low range on a 0–100 scale.
Stochastic RSI
Applies the stochastic formula to RSI for a more sensitive momentum read.
TRIX
The rate of change of a triple-smoothed moving average, filtering out minor moves.
True Strength Index
A double-smoothed momentum oscillator that reduces noise.
Ultimate Oscillator
Blends momentum across three timeframes into a single measure.
Williams %R
Shows where price sits in its recent range, inverted, on a 0 to -100 scale.
Volatility 10
Volatility indicators measure how much price is moving, without saying which way. They widen in fast markets and contract in quiet ones — useful for sizing expectations and spotting when a market is coiling.
ATR
Average True Range — the average size of recent price moves, a pure volatility measure.
Bollinger Bands %B
Locates price within its Bollinger Bands as a single number.
Bollinger Bands Width
Measures how wide the Bollinger Bands are, tracking expansion and contraction of volatility.
Chaikin Volatility
Measures volatility from the spread between high and low over time.
Choppiness Index
Rates how trending or sideways the market is, without direction.
Historical Volatility
The standard deviation of past returns, annualized — how much price has varied.
Mass Index
Sums the ratio of a 9-period EMA of the high-low range to an EMA of that EMA, over 25 periods.
Relative Volatility Index
Applies an RSI-style calculation to standard deviation to measure the direction of volatility.
Standard Deviation
A statistical measure of how far price spreads from its average.
Realized Volatility
A synthetic close-to-close and range-based estimate of how much price has actually varied. This is not the CBOE VIX.
Bands & channels 4
Bands and channels draw lines around price — from a moving average, a volatility measure, or recent highs and lows — to frame how stretched a move is relative to its recent range.
Bollinger Bands
A moving average with bands set a number of standard deviations away — a volatility envelope around price.
Donchian Channels
Lines at the highest high and lowest low over a period, framing breakouts and range.
Envelopes
Two bands offset from a moving average by a fixed percentage, one on each side.
Keltner Channels
A moving average with ATR-based bands — an alternative to Bollinger Bands.
Volume 16
Volume indicators bring participation into the picture, weighting or accumulating traded volume to gauge the pressure behind a move. Volume confirms or questions what price alone shows.
Accumulation Distribution
A running total that weights volume by where price closes in its range, tracking accumulation and distribution.
Chaikin Oscillator
The momentum of the Accumulation/Distribution line.
CMF
Chaikin Money Flow — measures money flow over a period using volume and where price closes.
Ease Of Movement
Relates price change to volume to show how easily price is moving.
Force Index
Combines price change and volume to measure the power behind a move.
Klinger Oscillator
Compares volume to price movement to track longer-term money flow, with a signal line.
MFI
Money Flow Index — a volume-weighted RSI on a 0–100 scale.
Negative Volume Index
Focuses on days when volume falls, on the idea that they reflect informed activity.
Net Volume
Up-volume minus down-volume over a period.
OBV
On-Balance Volume — a running total that adds volume on up bars and subtracts it on down bars.
Positive Volume Index
Focuses on days when volume rises to track crowd participation.
Price Volume Trend
A cumulative line that weights volume by the percent change in price.
Volume
The amount traded per bar — the raw participation behind price.
Volume Oscillator
The difference between a fast and slow volume average, showing whether volume is rising or falling.
Volume Rate Of Change
The percent change in volume over a set period.
VWAP
Volume-Weighted Average Price — the average price weighted by volume, a common intraday reference.
Support & resistance 3
These tools mark structural levels — prior highs and lows, pivots, and swing points — that traders watch as reference, not as guarantees.
Statistical 3
Statistical indicators apply regression and correlation to price, describing its trend line or how two instruments move together — measurements, not predictions.
