2D Indicator

This innovative indicator creates a scatter-graph of multiple instruments, using common oscillator values (such as RSI, CCI, SSD, etc.) for their �X� (horizontal) and �Y� (vertical) coordinates.

The result is a constellation of points, which allows all the instruments to be viewed and compared together on a single chart, in a visually appealing and informative way. It allows the user to quickly assess which instruments are over-bought / over-sold, etc. without having to open multiple charts.

Typically, different indicators would be specified for X and Y axes. For example, RSI on X-axis, and ROC on Y-axis; in this case the X-axis is the strength, and the Y-axis is the rate of change of price. Using the same indicator on X and Y axes isn�t typically very useful unless different parameters are used, e.g. SSD(20, 3, 3) on X-axis and SSD(5, 3, 3) on Y-axis.

The indicator is also able to plot a small amount of historical data (e.g. last 10 data points, which appears as a �tail� for each instrument). See Figure 1.

The indicator can display all instruments, specific subsets (such as all forex majors, all JPY crosses, etc.) or any custom group.

Standard reference lines can be specified for the X and Y axes. For example, the normal 80/20 lines for SSD, etc.






This indicator is now available on the store.

"2D" indicator almost finished

This new indicator is basically finished. I added reference lines, and tidied up some of the code. Currently it supports RSI, CCI, SSD, ROC. I am thinking about some other indicators, but they need to use some standard scale - for example MACD is not possible because it will be different scale for every instrument.

More experiments with "2D" indicator

A couple of tweaks to this experimental indicator.

Now uses higher transparency for older data (so it fades out).


Also, history level can be set, here history = 1 (i.e. only showing the latest data point).

Experimental "2D" indicator

Friday - just trying something I thought of a while ago. In the chart below, I've created a "scatter plot" of RSI(14) (on X-axis) vs ROC(14) (on Y-axis) for major forex pairs, and for the last 10 bars. This happens to be an m5 chart.

The idea, is the RSI shows strength, and ROC shows momentum, so for example, when a currency has high strength (RSI) and low momentum (ROC) this would appear in the bottom-right of the chart, and might be a good candidate to fade.

The indicator is very much a prototype - just really seeing if it proved useful. You can select different indicators for X and Y axis, e.g. RSI, CCI, ROC, SSD.


I'll have a play with it and let you know how it goes :-)

Composite Profile Release 23

I've just uploaded a new version onto the server.

Release 23:
  • Added new date-based colouring effect
  • Added new "tool-tip" style

The new colouring effect, colours the profile's price bins according to how "old" they are, i.e. how long since price last touched that level. The colour is generated using the rainbow effect with red as the most recent, and blue as the oldest. 


The new "tool-tip" styles provide additional summary information about the profile and individual price bins when the mouse cursor hovers over the profile.


More information about the Composite Profile can be found here.

New display mode for the Composite Profile

Just playing around with a new display mode for the Composite Profile. This colours the profile's price bins according to how "old" they are, i.e. how long since price last touched that level. The colouring is using the rainbow effect with red as the most recent, and blue as the oldest.

The idea behind this was to see more clearly on the profile when price was approaching an area that was not visited in a while.

I'm still experimenting with it. It might not make it into the next version.

New Release of Market Profile Indicator

Just uploaded a new version of the Market Profile indicator onto the site.

Release 21:
  • Added �Daily end time� for the �Daily� profiling mode

This mode allows daily profiles to be configured with specific start/end times, for example if trading US SPX500, you can set start time to be 9:30 EST and end time to be 16:00 EST, representing the underlying cash market.

More information can be found here.

Currency Strength on MetaTrader4

Initial study into the possibility of porting my Currency Strength indicators on to MetaTrader4. I'm starting with the Currency Index since it is the simplest, yet contains all the data-grabbing and most of the maths that I need.

Here is the original MarketScope version of USD Index based on m5 chart...


Here is the new MT4 version of the same ...


This was a proof-of-concept prototype. There were a lot of short-cuts and hacks in this, but I think it worked out ok. Still a lot more work to be done.

Platform Change (Part 3)

Just playing around, but here is first screenshot of a partial port of the SessionLines indicator. Not as nice as it was on MarketScope, but functional. Unfortunately, there appears to be a limit to how many output streams an indicator can support, so the full functionality of SessionLines can not be supported. I will have to split it into 3.

Platform Change (Part 2)

I am seriously looking in moving some indicators over to MT4 now. I think it will do what I need to do, and seems like best solution all around. I'm investigating the programming language, and seeing how that will cope with my indicators' requirements.

I won't port all of my indicators to MT4; some are not applicable or can not be coded, some are not needed, others might not be worth the effort if existing MT4 are readily available.

Some initial candidates for converting to MT4:
  • Session Lines
    • Since it is a relatively straight-forward concept, although I think it will need to be split into 2 or 3 MT4 indicators due to limits on output streams
  • Currency Index / Currency Strength
    • This one uses quite a few "advanced" programming techniques and so will be a good learning activity, as well as being one of my most popular indicators
  • Line Sync
    • Has been requested, and also I am not sure whether anything similar exists for MT4
  • Supply / Demand
    • Another popular indicator, and although there are other similar indicators, none of them are quite like my own
  • Candle Profile or Composite Profile
    • Not sure which one yet, they are actually fairly similar internally

I think that will do for now. With these converted, that should be a very valuable learning experience, and hopefully the rest can follow along similar lines.
