Average True Range (ATR) Indicator

The Average True Range (ATR) indicator was introduced by Welles Wilder as a tool to measure the market volatility
and volatility alone leaving aside attempts to indicate the direction. Unlike the True Range, the ATR also includes
volatility of gaps and limit moves. The indicator is good at valuating the market’s interest in the price moves for
strong moves and break-outs are normally accompanied by large ranges.
The ATR is used with 14 periods with daily and longer timeframes and reflects the volatility values that are in relation
to the trading instrument’s price.

Commodity Channel Index (CCI) Indicator

The Commodity Channel Index is an indicator by Donald Lambert. Despite the original purpose to identify new trends, it’s nowadays widely used to measure the current price levels in relation to the average one.
The indicator oscillates around the naught line tending to stay within the range from -100 to +100. The naught line represents the level of an average balanced price. The higher the indicator surges above the naught line the more overvalued the security is. The further the indicator plunges into the negative area the more potential for
growth the price may have.

DeMarker Indicator

This indicator was introduced by Tom DeMark as a tool to identify emerging buying and selling opportunities. It demonstrates the price depletion phases which usually correspond with the price highs and bottoms. The DeMarker indicator proved to be efficient at identifying trend break-downs as well as spotting intra-day entry
and exit points. The indicator fluctuates with a range between 0 to 1 and is indicative of lower volatility and a possible price drop when reading 0.7 and higher, and signals a possible price increase when reading below 0.3.

Envelopes Indicator

The Envelopes indicator reflects the price overbought and oversold conditions helping to identify the entry or exit points as well as possible trend break-downs.
The indicator consists of two SMAs that together form a flexible channel in which the price evolves. The averages are plotted around a Moving Average in a constant percentage distance which may be adjusted according to the current market volatility. Each line serves as a margin of the price fluctuation range.In a trending market take only oversold signals in an uptrend conditions and overbought signals in a downtrend
conditions.In a ranging market the price reaching the top line serves as a sell signal, while the price at the lower line generates a signal to buy

Force Index Indicator

The Force Index indicator invented by Alexander Elder measures the power behind every price move based on their three essential elements, e.g., direction, extent and volume. The oscillator fluctuates around the zero, i.e., a point of a relative balance between power shifts.
The Force Index allows to identify the reinforcement of different time scale trends:
• The indicator should be made more sensitive by decreasing its period for short trends.
• The indicator should be smoothed by increasing its period for longer trends.
• The Force Index may strongly imply a trend change:
