A nice piece of code from Norm North of North Systems which uses a summation of 10 different components, ranging from commodity channel index, relative strength index (RSI) and money flow index to moving average convergence/divergence, Bollinger bands, among others.
The Insync Index ranges from -65 to +65
and signals when the extreme point is reached and then retreats back
from it. From that point on, you're on your own..
Insync index contains two volume based
indicators, Ease of Movement and Money Flow index.
These
indicators each contribute scores of + 5 to - 5 to the consensus
reading, and if you do not have trade volume enabled they will not
assign the correct values, this effectively renders Insync useless.
So to make matters simpler I have added the input REALVOLUME =
TRUE / FALSE to this indicator.
While this has the effect of
reducing the range of Insync index to +55 and -55, ( if FALSE is
selected ) it at least means that the two volume components are
removed from the calculation
and enable the remaining 8 indicators
to work correctly. If this is not done, Insync will never reach the
extreme points required to signal a trade.
Also you need to
be aware, some version of Tradestation have a version of Money Flow
Index which is not correctly coded.
I have the correct code
here that can be used to replace the erroneous function. If you plot
Money Flow Index in your Tradestation, and note how it looks, if the
line is jerky and stepped, it
the incorrect code version which does
not follow the right formula as it was designed. If you need the
correct code then please mail me.
How to use Insync Indicator
Insync is best employed as a watch-dog over a large workspace of
instruments, with alerts given when the extreme levels are reached.
It is not an "Always in the market" indicator and hence needs to
be protected with trailing stops. (Do not wait for the other extreme
before exit trades)
WARNING This indicator works well in
sideways ranging markets, but is NOT SUITABLE FOR TRENDING MARKETS
North intended buy signals when Insync reached -65 then rose
away from it. Sell signals when reaching +65 and falling from it
This indicator works well if the signals are confirmed with
Candlestick patterns
This indicator often works well on
markets which are not profitable when testing trend following
systems
My studies show that trading when Insync is not at
the full extreme points of +-65 reduce trading profits
significantly.
However you will see many great moves coming
from 55 or 60 values, which will drive you insane....you have been
warned
Some of the shortcomings of Insync have been addressed
in the Precision Index Oscillator shown at the bottom of the page
Chart examples of Insync Index show how it functions in a home trading system....
The Circles denote when Insync touched
+65 and -65, you can see the last trade lost, showing you need
trailing stops...
