The Technical Indicators plugin allows you to construct complicated systems to use in analysis and scan. There are many functions you can use to build up your system. They are grouped into four categories: Indicators, Math, ASPS Operators, and Timing. All the functions are explained below.

Indicators  

    Indicators are a group of commonly used technical indicators. You can change the arguments of these indicators to any reasonable value. Here are the details of each of the indicators.

NameDescription
ATRShort for Average True Range, ATR indicates a stock's volatility over the past several days. The unit of ATR is price point. Divide ATR by CLOSE you can get its percentage value.

Here are the arguments:

  1. The amount of days used in the calculation.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
ADXAlso known as the Directional Movement Index, ADX is a trend following indicator. When using ADX, you will also see two more values in the chart, +DMI and -DMI. When the ADX line is below both DMI lines, it means there is no trending in the stock price.

Here are the arguments:

  1. DX Period
  2. Smoothing Period
  3. N/A
Bollinger BandBollinger Bands determines over-bought and over-sold area using past price volatility. When using Bollinger Band, an Upper BBand and a Lower BBand will be added to the chart. When price rise above the upper band, it is over-bought, vice versa.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Moving Average Period for the middle line.
  2. Multiple of Sigma (Standard Deviation) away from the middle line.
  3. N/A
EMAExponential Moving Average is a cumulative moving average that takes in all previous data into calculation.

Here are the arguments:

  1. The recent number of days that has greater effect on the MA.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
MACDThe MACD line is generated by measuring the differences between a long moving average and a short moving average line. It also generates a signal line, which is the Moving Average of the MACD line. Buy signals are generated when the MACD line cross up the signal line.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Short MA period
  2. Long MA period
  3. Signal MA period
OBVOn Balance Volume is calculated as the sum of up day volume minus the sum of down day volume. The value of OBV is not important. What is important is the change in the OBV value. It is very bullish when OBV rapidly increases.

Here are the arguments:

  1. The number of recent days used in calculation.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
Parabolic SarThe Parabolic Sar is designed to measure stops for long and short positions.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Incremental Step
  2. Maximum Step
  3. N/A
RSIThe Relative Strength Index compares recent gain to recent loss. It is very useful to determine over-bought (RSI > 80) and over-sold (RSI < 20) situations.

Here are the arguments:

  1. The number of past days used in calculation.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
SMASimple Moving Average takes the average of the past several days.

Here are the arguments:

  1. The number of recent days used in calculation.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
StochasticStochastics measures the price momentum and velocity.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Raw K period
  2. Fast D period
  3. Slow D period
TrixThe Triple Smoothed Exponential Oscillator measures the percentage change of the triple moving average of price.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Smoothing period
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
William %RThe William %R is similar to stochastics. It measures over-sold and over-bought situations.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Number of recent day used in calculation.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A

Math  

    Math operators can be used to connect two variables. Here are the explanations:

OperatorsExplanation
ConstantDefines a number to use in other operations or comparison.

Here are the arguments:

  1. The value of the constant
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
Add
Subtract
Multiple
Divide		Adds / Subtracts / Multiples / Divides two variables.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Variable A
  2. Variable B
  3. N/A
Max
Min		Finds the maximum or minimum value of the InputVariale within the last several days.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Number of days in calculation
  2. N/A
  3. N/A

ASPS Operators  

    Unique indicators developed by Cisiova Inc.

IndicatorsExplanation
DivergeMeasures the divergence of indicator A from indicator B.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Indicator A
  2. Indicator B
  3. Number of past days used in calculation.
VolatilityThis indicator measures the standard deviation of past prices from the best fit line. In addition, it produces a slope variable that measures the slope of the best fit line. A slope of 0.5 over last 50 days means the trend averages 0.5% increase per day.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Number of days used in calculation.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A

Timing  

    Timing lets you access values other than the current value.

OperatorExplanation
Look BackIf you want to access values many days ago, use Look Back to access them.

Here are the arguments:

  1. Number of days to look back.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
