Indicators & strategy building blocks

The concepts behind algorithmic strategies — explained, then buildable without code. Each is a node you can drop on the Algovex canvas, backtest and export.

Classic indicators

RSI (Relative Strength Index)

A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and size of recent price moves.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

A trend-following momentum indicator built from two moving averages.

Bollinger Bands

A volatility envelope of standard deviations around a moving average.

EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

A moving average that weights recent prices more heavily, so it reacts faster.

Stochastic Oscillator

A momentum oscillator comparing close to the recent high-low range.

ATR (Average True Range)

A volatility measure of the average range price travels per bar.

ADX (Average Directional Index)

A trend-strength gauge that tells you whether to trend-follow or stay out.

Ichimoku Cloud

A complete trend system that shows direction, momentum and support/resistance at a glance.

Supertrend

An ATR-based trend line that flips with the trend and trails as a stop.

CCI (Commodity Channel Index)

An unbounded oscillator that measures price deviation from its average.

Williams %R

A fast momentum oscillator scaled from 0 to −100.

Parabolic SAR

Dots that trail price and flip to signal trend reversals.

Donchian Channels

Bands of the highest high and lowest low, the classic breakout tool.

Keltner Channels

ATR-based bands around an EMA for trend and breakout trading.

Pivot Points

Predefined support and resistance levels from the prior period.

Awesome Oscillator (AO)

A histogram of market momentum built from two moving averages of the midpoint.

Aroon Indicator

Measures how recently new highs and lows occurred to flag trend changes.

Heikin Ashi

Averaged candles that smooth noise and make trends easier to read.

Rate of Change (ROC)

Measures the percentage price change over a lookback, momentum in its purest form.

TRIX

A triple-smoothed momentum oscillator that filters out market noise.

Vortex Indicator

Two crossing lines that capture trend direction and turning points.

Ultimate Oscillator

Blends three timeframes into one oscillator to cut false signals.

Hull Moving Average (HMA)

A moving average that's both fast and smooth, low lag, little noise.

Smart Money / ICT

Order Block (Smart Money Concept)

The last opposing candle before an impulsive, structure-breaking move.

Fair Value Gap (FVG)

A three-candle price imbalance that markets often return to fill.

Break of Structure (BOS)

The break of a prior swing that confirms trend continuation or a shift.

Liquidity Sweep (Stop Hunt)

A quick spike through a level to grab resting orders before reversing.

Equal Highs & Lows (Liquidity)

Matching highs or lows that flag pools of resting stop liquidity.

Volume & order-flow

Volume Profile

A histogram of how much volume traded at each price level.

VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)

The average price weighted by volume, the institutional fair-value benchmark.

OBV (On-Balance Volume)

A running total of volume that flows with price to reveal accumulation.

Money Flow Index (MFI)

A volume-weighted RSI that measures buying and selling pressure.

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)

A volume-based oscillator of accumulation vs distribution.

Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D)

A cumulative volume line tracking buying vs selling pressure.
