Program 30 is a TradeStation Indicator developed using EasyLanguage designed to look for potential divergences between price and the True Strength Index (TSI). It works similar to program 27 and program 28 which look for divergence between price and MACD and price and stochastics respectively.
The True Strength Index (TSI) is a momentum-based indicator, originally developed by William Blau. It is used to find the trend and overbought/oversold conditions. Some technical analysts believe that bullish and bearish divergences in the TSI may foreshadow reversals.
I have used the following formulae to calculate TSI in this program:
Value1 = XAverage( XAverage( Price – Price[1], TSIPeriod1 ), TSIPeriod2 ) ;
Value2 = XAverage( XAverage( AbsValue( Price – Price[1] ), TSIPeriod1 ), TSIPeriod2 );
TrueStrengthIndex = 100 * _Divide( Value1, Value2 );
XAvgTSI = XAverage( TrueStrengthIndex, TSIPeriod3 );
In addition to looking for divergence, program 30 plots TSI, an exponential moving average of TSI, the difference between the TSI and the exponential moving average of TSI (smoothed TSI) as well as a horizontal lines at the zero level.
The program also looks for divergence between price and the TSI. The user may select (by user input) whether to use:
- TSI,
- exponential moving average of TSI (smoothed TSI), or
- The difference between TSI and the exponential moving average of TSI
to search for divergence (see user inputs below). The width of the plot of the type of TSI chosen is made wider so that you can easily see which line the program is using.
When a potential divergence is found a line is drawn between price pivots corresponding to pivots in the TSI. Since price and TSI pivots do not necessarily occur on exactly the same bar, the program has a user input to determine how many bars apart the price pivot and the TSI pivot can occur. The price pivot can occur before the TSI pivot, or vice versa.
This UNPROTECTED program (i.e. the TradeStation EasyLanguage indicator) is available for immediate download for $97.95 by clicking the ‘add to cart’ button to pay using Credit card or PayPal.
The download includes the following bonuses:
- a user guide in PDF format
- a video that explains how to modify the program to use a different indicator (e.g. RSI).
- a plain text version of the program
You may also download a bundled package consisting of programs 27, 28, and 30 for $195-. This is a substantial discount when compared with buying the three programs separately. These programs are available for immediate download by clicking the ‘add to cart’ button to pay using Credit card or PayPal.
A bundled package of program 28 (Stochastic divergence for charts, scanner and RadarScreen), program 30 (True Strength Index (TSI) divergence) and program 42 (RSI Divergence Indicator and Showme Study) is also available for immediate download for $149.95.
The programs were developed in TradeStation 9.0 and work on intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly charts. The indicator may be applied to tick charts, but the pattern text may not display correctly due to an EasyLanguage drawing tool limitations. Because the programs are unprotected you can open them up and see the program code as well as modify it.
As usual, Gold Pass members get an additional 20% discount off all program and tutorial prices. If you are a Gold Pass member make sure you enter the special coupon code to get 20% discount off these prices.
This program uses a different method from that employed in some of the earlier CCI divergence programs. I explain this in a video which accompanies the download.
The program may be applied to charts, RadarScreen, and/or the scanner. I demonstrate this in the video below. It also includes alert functionality for RadarScreen which my be controlled by the indicator settings.
