Candle Normalization

Heikin Ashi

Heikin Ashi smooths candle noise so trend persistence is easier to spot than on raw candles alone.

Smoothed Heikin Ashi

Smoothed Heikin Ashi removes even more noise than standard Heikin Ashi and is useful when you care more about regime than about small swings.

Bollinger Bands

Bollinger Bands frame price around a moving average so you can spot volatility compression, expansion, and stretched closes.

Bollinger Bands 50

Bollinger Bands 50 use a slower basis to show broader volatility behavior and higher-timeframe stretch.

Commodity Channel Index

CCI measures how far price has deviated from its statistical mean, making it useful for spotting strong impulses and stretched conditions.

Keltner Channel

Keltner Channels wrap price in ATR-based envelopes around a moving average, giving you a cleaner volatility rail than pure standard-deviation bands.

RSI 21

RSI 21 is a slower momentum read that reduces noise and helps confirm broader directional pressure.

Squeeze Momentum

Squeeze Momentum tells you when volatility compresses and when that compression begins to release.

Stochastic Oscillator

The stochastic oscillator compares the latest close to the recent range, making it useful for timing pullbacks inside established structure.

Stochastic Oscillator 21

The slower stochastic oscillator gives a steadier read on swing pressure and is less reactive than the fast default version.

WaveTrend

WaveTrend is a smoothed oscillator designed to highlight swings in directional pressure without reacting to every tiny fluctuation.

Fair Value Gap

Fair Value Gap highlights imbalances where price moved too aggressively to trade smoothly through the area.

ADX

ADX measures the strength of a move regardless of direction, helping you tell trend conditions from dead chop.

SuperTrend

SuperTrend places a trailing trend rail around price using ATR so you can see bias and invalidation at the same time.

SuperTrend Fast

SuperTrend Fast is a more reactive SuperTrend variant built for earlier regime detection at the cost of more noise.

ATR Keltner Regime Expansion

ATR Keltner Regime Expansion measures whether current range behavior is expanding enough to suggest a real volatility regime shift.

Average True Range

Average True Range measures how much the market typically moves per candle, making it one of the best risk-framing tools in CandleOps.

Anchored VWAP

Anchored VWAP shows the average traded price from a chosen anchor point and helps identify value acceptance after a move begins.

Volume Profile

Volume Profile highlights where the market spent the most business, helping you distinguish accepted value from rejection zones.

MACD

MACD compares fast and slow trend components so you can see acceleration, deceleration, and crossover behavior more clearly.

Rate of Change

Rate of Change measures the percentage change from a lookback point, making impulse quality easier to compare across missions.

Momentum

Momentum compares current price to a prior price to show whether the market is accelerating or losing force.

Williams %R

Williams %R tracks where the close sits inside the recent range and is especially useful for timing pullbacks in directional moves.

TRIX

TRIX smooths price several times before measuring rate of change, giving you a cleaner view of underlying momentum turns.

Detrended Price Oscillator

The Detrended Price Oscillator strips out longer trend influence so you can inspect shorter cycle behavior more directly.

Ultimate Oscillator

Ultimate Oscillator blends multiple momentum windows to reduce the bias of relying on only one lookback.

Money Flow Index

Money Flow Index combines price and volume to show whether money pressure is confirming the move.

On-Balance Volume

On-Balance Volume accumulates volume by candle direction so you can see whether participation supports price.

Chaikin Money Flow

Chaikin Money Flow measures whether closes are occurring near the strong or weak end of the candle while volume flows through the move.

Accumulation Distribution Index

Accumulation Distribution Index tracks whether price is closing in a way that implies steady accumulation or distribution.

Parabolic SAR

Parabolic SAR prints a trailing stop path that speeds up as a trend extends.

Ichimoku Cloud

Ichimoku Cloud bundles trend, momentum, support, resistance, and projected structure into one multi-line framework.

Aroon

Aroon measures how recently highs and lows occurred so you can tell whether trend control is fresh or fading.

Donchian Channel

Donchian Channel tracks the highest high and lowest low of a lookback window, making breakout structure extremely obvious.

MACD Fast

MACD Fast is a more reactive MACD setup designed to show acceleration changes earlier than the standard configuration.

Rate of Change 21

Rate of Change 21 smooths the momentum story enough to make swing continuation easier to evaluate.

Momentum 20

Momentum 20 gives you a slower impulse read than the default variant and helps reduce false urgency.

Williams %R 21

Williams %R 21 is the slower swing version of Williams %R and is useful when you want broader pullback timing.

Money Flow Index 21

Money Flow Index 21 gives a slower read on whether price movement is being backed by real participation.

Donchian Channel 55

Donchian Channel 55 tracks a wider breakout envelope and is better suited to slower trend continuation than the shorter default version.

Aroon 14

Aroon 14 is a faster version of Aroon and helps detect regime changes earlier, though with more noise.
