Trend and Volatility Indicators

Browse all 3 parts in the Trend and Volatility Indicators series and start from the section you need.

Vortex Indicator — What matters is whether the lines stay apart after crossing

The Vortex Indicator uses VI+ and VI- to show which direction has the advantage. The distance between the lines after a crossover and the price structure matter most.

Hull Moving Average — Faster averages also give more false turns in ranges

HMA reduces moving-average lag. Its slope turns quickly, but that speed creates more false signals when price moves sideways.

Linear Regression Channel — Turn a hand-drawn trendline into a mean-reversion framework

A regression channel uses its center line, slope and upper and lower breaks to assess trend quality and overextension together.
