 Advanced Technical Indicators

Strategy Runner is a fully equipped technical analyses tool with over 40 different indicators:

Study Name
Parameters
Description
AD
None
The Accumulation/Distribution (AD) is a momentum indicator that associates changes in price and volume. The indicator is based on the premise that the more volume that accompanies a price move, the more significant the price move.
AD Oscillator
Fast Period
Slow Period
Chaikin Oscillator (ADOCS) is moving average oscillator based on the Accumulation / Distribution indicator.
ADXR
Period
The Directional Movement Rating function determines the momentum in the Average Directional Movement, effectively adding another layer of smoothing to the Directional Movement Index.
Aroon
Period
The Aroon indicator allows to anticipate changes in security prices from trending to trading range. It is a system which can be used to determine whether a stock is trending or not and how strong the trend is.
Aroon Oscillator
Period
The Aroon Oscillator is the difference between the Aroon Up and Aroon Down lines. An upward trend is indicated as the Aroon oscillator passes upward through the zero line.
ATR
Period
Average True Range (ATR) indicator measures a security's volatility.
Bollinger bands
Period
Deviation
Exponential
Bollinger bands measure the support for, and resistance to price changes of any particular stock, by plotting the standard deviation of the moving average of a price.
CCI
Period
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures the variation of a security's price from its statistical mean. High values show that prices are unusually high compared to average prices whereas low values indicate that prices are unusually low.
CLV
None
The Close Location Value (CLV) Accumulation Distribution indicator uses the relationship between the open and the close of the bar, and the range of the bar, to weight and characterize the volume as Accumulation (buying) or Distribution (selling).
Directional Movement
ADX Period
+DI, -DI Period
The +DI indicates the up average.

The -DI indicates the down average.

The ADX, average directional movement index, shows whether a trend is in effect by smoothing the difference between the +DI and -DI.
DX
Period
The Directional Movement Index function determines the strength of the current price trend by comparing the positive movement to the negative movement.
Exponential MA
Double
Period
Source = {Open, Low, High, Close}
Exponential moving average (EMA) is a moving average that gives extra weight to more recent price data.
KAMA
Period
Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average indicator is an EMA using an Efficiency Ratio to modify the smoothing constant, which ranges from a minimum of Fast Length to a maximum of Slow Length.
Linear Regression
Period
The Linear Regression indicator is based on the trend of a security's price over a specified time period. The trend is determined by calculating a linear regression trendline using the "least squares fit" method. The least squares fit technique fits a trendline to the data in the chart by minimizing the distance between the data points and the linear regression trendline.
MA
Double
Period
Source = {Open, Low, High, Close}
Moving Average is calculated by adding together the closing prices of a financial instrument over a certain number of days and then dividing the sum by the number of days involved.
MACD
Fast Len
Slow Len
MACD Len
Moving Average Convergence/Divergence is a trend following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices.
Maximum
Period

 
Highest value over a specified period.
MFI
Period
The Money Flow indicator (MFI) illustrates the inflows and outflows of cash in regards to a particular stock. While a stock's price simply provides a snapshot in time, Money Flow can show if the market may be discounting some future, significant event.
MidPoint
Period
Simply (highest value + lowest value)/2.
MidPrice
Period
Simply (highest high + lowest low)/2.
Minimum
Period
Lowest value over a specified period.
Momentum
Period
The Momentum indicator measures the amount that a security's price has changed over a given time span.
Momentum Divergence 
Period
The Momentum Divergence (MomentumDiv) is a method to compare how strong a stock's price action is compared to the stock's underlying momentum. This indicator takes the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator with the standard 12,26,9 setting and converts MACD on a scale from 0 to 100, similar.
OBV
None
On Balance Volume (OBV) is the weighted sum of volume used to quantify buying or selling pressure to either confirm the current price trend or warn of a possible reversal.
PVO
None
Price Volume Oscillator (PVO) indicator calculates a fast, or short, moving average and a long, or slow, moving average. The difference between these two values is then plotted.
ROC
Period
The Rate of Change (ROC) is an oscillator that displays the  difference between the current price and the price x-time periods ago. As prices increase, the ROC rises and as prices fall, the ROC falls. The greater the change in prices, the greater the change in the ROC.
RSI
Period
Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator calculates a value based on the cumulative strength and weakness of price, specified in the input Price, over the period specified in the input Length.
Stochastic Fast
%K Period

%D Period
Stochastic Fast indicator calculates the location of a current price in relation to its range over a period of bars.
T3
Period

Volume Factor
T3 is an adaptive moving average. It tracks the time series more aggressively when making large moves.
TEMA
Period

 
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) is a unique composite of a single exponential moving average, a double exponential moving average, and a triple exponential moving average that provides less lag than either of the three components individually.
True Range
None

 
True Range is defined as the largest of the following:
- The distance from current bar's high to current bar's low.
- The distance from previous bar's close to current bar's high.
- The distance from previous bar's close to current bar's low.
TRIMA
Period

 
The Triangular Moving Average (TRIMA) is simply a double-smoothed simple moving average where the middle portion of the data has more weight.
TSF
Period

 
The Time Series Forecast (TSF) function displays the statistical trend of a security's price over a specified time period based on linear regression analysis
Volume
None

 
Volume is the number of shares traded on a stock exchange for a given period, also known as market turnover.
Williams %R
Period

 
Williams %R (aka Persent R) is a momentum indicator that measures overbought/oversold levels.
