ACTION Locator v2.0

12 dic 2019

The indicator is based on making the standard deviation (where the mean is a moving average) a two-lines cross indicator, by applying an MA over it. When the standard deviation is above the MA, there is considered to be enough volatility in the market for trends to form.

Blue background = There is ACTION in the market -- signals it should be safe to trade
Gray background = No ACTION - DO NOT TRADE!

- Version 2.1 -

• Added the Average Sigma Price Build-up signal to the indicator. This is usually quite a strong indication of possible ACTION in the market. Whenever this signals the background is less transparent, signaling a stronger volatility and a higher probability that the market will take ACTION.
  
• Corrected a bug in the LSMA calculation.

- Version 2.2 -

• Added checks against volatility indices in order to indicate whether or not there is
  volatility in the market. You can choose between a volatility index for Forex (EVZ)
  and two stock indices (VIX). The idea is that if there is volatility in the overall
  market, there is a higher probability that the market will take ACTION.
  
  Blue bars (above) = There is ACTION in the market -- signals it should be safe to trade
  Gray bars (above) = No ACTION - DO NOT TRADE!
  
  Teal bars (below) = There is force behind the ACTION!
  Gray bars (below) = Less volatility in the market, be careful!
