Here's an interesting indicator created by James Stanley of DailyFX. The oscillator measures the difference between the upper and lower bollinger bands. A moving average of the same length as the bollinger band is also plotted over the oscillator.
If the oscillator is greater than the moving average, it indicates the trend is accelerating.
If the oscillator is less than the moving average, it indicates the trend is decelerating.
This is a momentum strategy based on pivot levels. The strategy is quite simple in that it will enter a long position at the R1 daily pivot and a short position at the S1 daily pivot. The stop and limit amounts can be set in the EA properties. The strategy is based off of the floor trader pivots indicator already included in the Strategy Trader platform.
Trader Trader EA buys and sells based upon crosses above and below TRIX. TRIX is an oscillator used to trade trends based on a triple smoothed moving average. A cross up and over TRIX initiates a long position, and a cross down and under TRIX initiates a short position.
This strategy is a simple trend trader that uses RSI and MACD.
The strategy uses RSI as a trend filter with a 50/50 cutoff. RSI > 50 only long trades will be opened, RSI < 50 only short trades will be opened.
The trigger is MACD, I was using 21,55, and 9 as the default settings. If bullish MACD cross takes place while RSI > 50, long position will be opened. If Bearish MACD cross takes place while RSI < 50, short position will be opened.
Risk is managed via Stop, Profit Target, Breakeven Stop, and a Trailing Stop. All are in Dollars - not number of pips.
All of the inputs can be modified through the input options menu when setting the strategy.
This strategy will buy/sell when the candle closes above or below the specified moving average. For example, if candle closes above the moving average line, a buy order is placed. If the candle closes below the moving average, a sell order is placed. The moving average length can be set in the strategy inputs. A simple using average is used if the Simple option in the strategy inputs is set to True. If false, the calculation is based on an exponential average.
This strategy trades off the Tenkan/Kijun Crossover from the Ichimoku indicator. A new position is opened when there is a crossover, and the lot size is dependent on signal strength. For example, if a short signal occurs below the cloud (Kumo), then the strategy opens 2 lots since this is considered a strong signal. If a short signal occurs above the cloud (Kumo), then the strategy only opens 1 lot since this is considered a weak signal.
This EA is coded compliments of James Stanley at FXCM.

Download the COTIndicator.zip file, unzip. Run the attached .exe file. Open Strategy Trader and the Strategy Trader editor. When prompted by the Editor, hit "okay" to import the "COTIndicator.fxd" file.
Once it has compiled correctly, open the "COTIndicator.fxw" file found in the default "MyWork" directory. If you installed Strategy Trader in the default location, this would be C:\Program Files\FXCM\Strategy Trader\MyWork .
All COT data is printed with the futures contract in mind. That is to say, Non Commercial and Commercial positioning on pairs such as the USDJPY and USDCHF are actually on JPYUSD and CHFUSD futures.
Supertrend indicator is based around average true range. Green indicates a bullish trend and red indicates a bearish trend. The indicator parameters let you set the atr length and multiplier.
This strategy is based off of the Detrended Price Oscillator indicator in the Strategy Trader platform. The EA will generate a buy signal when DPO value crosses above the zero line, and the EA will generate a sell signal when DPO value crosses below the zero line. A limit order can be specified in the EA parameters for exit.
This strategy automatically creates a stop based on the ATR (Average True Range) indicator. The input in the strategy allows you to select the ATR period and the (numatrs) number of ATRs the stop is placed from the open price.
This strategy initiates trades based on slow stochastic's overbought and oversold levels. The strategy will buy when certain oversold conditions are met and sell when certain overbought conditions are met.
Buy Logic
A market order to buy will be generated at the open of the next bar if the following conditions are met:
1. SlowK line crosses above the SlowD line
2. SlowK value is less than the oversold level
Sell Logic
A market order to buy will be generated at the open of the next bar if the following conditions are met:
1. SlowK line crosses below the SlowD line
2. SlowK value is greater than the overbought level
Stop and limit levels can be specified when formatting the strategy inputs. This strategy also has the option for email alerts. The email alert can be selected when formatting the strategies inputs.
This strategy uses Keltner Channels for buying and selling. If
Buying logic
An entry order to buy at the high price of the current bar will be generated if the current bar crosses the upper band.
Selling Logic
An entry order to sell at the low price of the current bar will be generated if the current bar crosses the lower band.
Here's a list of the inputs you will be able to modify when adding the EA:
Keltner Channel Indicator
Length = 20
Numatrs = 1.5 -> this value is multiplied by the average true range of the current bar to determine the distance from the upper and lower bands to the midline.
Other inputs / default values
Limit = 0
Stop = 0
Use SSL = False
Port = 25
Trailing Stop = 0
Email Alert = False
Basic automated strategy using the CCI indicator. Strategy will buy when CCI crosses above oversold (default -100) and strategy will sell when CCI crosses below overbought. If 0 is input as stop or limit, the strategy will default to stop and reverse logic.

This indicator combines the overbought and oversold logic of Bollinger Bands and that of the Relative Strength Index. When the RSI line crosses below the upper bollinger band from above, it is a signal to sell. When the RSI line crosses the lower bollinger band from below, it is a signal to buy.
The trade session indicator will draw a box around the the candlesticks occurring during the relevant major forex trading periods: NY, London, Tokyo & Australia. You can specify the color for each period in the inputs menu.
The economic calendar indciator will post economic news announcements directly onto the chart along with the actual figure released. The indicator will display any economic events relevant to the currency pair displayed in the chart. For example if you are viewing USD/JPY, it will display economic releases relevant to the US and Japan. The indicator pulls data from the DailyFX economic calendar.
The equity plotter will plot the profit/loss from automated strategies for particular currency pairs directly onto the currency pair chart. This becomes useful if you're running strategies on multiple currency pairs. The indicator will allow you to view profit/loss broken down by currency pair to quickly evaluate strategy performance by currency pair. The attached image gives an example of the equity plotter on the AUD/NZD and EUR/GBP pairs running the Grid Strategy. The equity plotter shows that AUD/NZD has an overall loss of $182.70 whereas EUR/GBP has an overall profit of $242.74. Helps you easily compare and identify which pairs have been most profitable.

One of the biggest requests for Strategy Trader has been for better coding documentation. The coding help document was recently revised (and greatly improved) so I thought this would be a beneficial document to upload before posting any indicators or strategies.
January 18th, 2011 03:31 PM Jason Rogers Hi skyland, the .FXD file will only work with the Strategy Trader platform. Do you have it downloaded onto your compute
r? If so, the file can be imported into the platform using the Strategy Trader Editor.
