New filters:
Commodity Channel Index
Commodity Channel Index signals when a trend is strengthening or weakening.
Above/Below Zero (Crossover)
Crossover of zero identifies trend changes.
Crossover
Crossover of 100 or -100 offer further confirmation.
Donchian Channels
Donchian Channels track long-term highs and lows, calculated using either highs & lows or closing price.
New Highs/Lows
Identifies when a new high or low is reached (i.e. when the upper band rises or the lower band falls).
Previous Highs/Lows
Identifies the previous change in the above filter. A recent change suggests a strong trend, while an older previous high/low would indicate the start of a new trend.
Mid-line Crossovers
Mid-line crossovers can be used for a long-term trend following, in a similar fashion to a moving average.
MACD & Histogram
MACD Histogram identifies convergence between the MACD and its signal line.
MACD (green) above its signal line (red) indicates an up-trend. Divergence on the MACD Histogram offers early warning of a trend change.
MACD Histogram Reversals
Reversals highlight when the MACD Histogram has changed direction. Scan for reversals — by 1, 2 or 3 percent — calculated using MACD Percentage.
MACD Histogram Above/Below Zero Crossover
Crossover of zero is the same as MACD crossover of its signal line. Please use the MACD Crossover filter.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
We have expanded and refined the available RSI filters.
Value Filter
Identify Minimum or Maximum values.
Crossover New
Identify crossovers above/below the 20, 30, 50, 70 or 80 levels.
Slow Stochastic
We made a similar improvement to Slow Stochastic, see RSI Crossover New.
Twiggs Trend Index
Crossover of zero identifies trending stocks.
The longer the time period above zero, the stronger the accumulation by buyers.
Similarly, the longer the Trend Index remains below zero, the stronger the distribution by sellers.
We hope that you find the new filters useful. Please send us your feedback or suggestions.
