- Introducing a new semi-regular Quantacula feature - Indicator Spotlight. Learn about technical indicators while interacting with them on the chart. Use sliders to dynamically change their parameters, and see the indicators respond immediately to your changes. We kick off the series with the beloved RSI Indicator.
The Highest and Lowest indicators return the highest/lowest values in a data series over the specified period.
This is the actual model originally described as the Golden Cross with the Death Cross as a sell and reverse trigger which is my own take on the strategy and note this is a time period 50 small sma periods and 200 large sma periods that has also been featured numerous times by technicians using a 10% of equity position size and as of the date I published this using my own custom watchlist I see one lucky long with triple digit returns and the rest plus or minus mid single digits so compared to the past results regardless this is not a good strategy and just here to test your money management skills and ability to program.
The Exponential Moving Average indicator smooths the source data with an ever-decreasing exponent. The weighting for each older data point decreases exponentially, never reaching zero.
Could be an interesting System which was presented in TASC May 2019. I was astonished because there was no Quantacula sample code available, so I analyzed it in Ninja and SQL. Stocks which exhibit this behaviour for at least 15 years: ADBE AFG APC AROW BDX CASY CBSH COO ECL GATX JJSF KEX MCD MDT MKL MSFT OTTR ROK

BASIC RSI KNOWN AND FEATURED THROUGHOUT MANY BROADCASTS IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION.
The Simple Moving Average indicator calculates the average of a series of values using a specific lookback period. The result is a line that moves along the data, representing a smoothed version of the source.
I thought this would be easier. I haven't yet taken a deep dive to try and figure out how to create a Historical Data Source just to read a CSV file... but is that really what it takes? This feels like overkill. Am I missing something? Is there example code for a simple way to read a darn CSV file of prices?

While we're (well, I'm) on the subject of missing indicators, how about interest in the Hurst exponent, a trend indicator of sorts.? Lots of references to it out there.
