Miha Kralj aec3a64e4e feat(dynamics): add PTA - Ehlers Precision Trend Analysis
TASC Sep 2024. Dual 2-pole Butterworth highpass bandpass for
near-zero-lag trend extraction. HP(long) - HP(short) preserves
cycles between shortPeriod and longPeriod.

Dynamics

Dynamics indicators measure trend strength, speed, and direction. Unlike momentum indicators that measure rate of change, dynamics indicators answer: "Is there a trend, and how strong is it?" Critical for filtering signals and avoiding whipsaws in ranging markets.

Indicators

Indicator Full Name Description
ADX Average Directional Index Trend strength 0-100. Direction-agnostic. <20 weak, >40 strong.
ADXR Average Directional Movement Rating Smoothed ADX. Average of current and N-period ago ADX.
ALLIGATOR Williams Alligator Three SMAs (Jaw, Teeth, Lips). Spread indicates trend strength.
AMAT Archer Moving Averages Trends Multiple EMA alignment. Requires fast/slow EMA plus directional confirmation.
AROON Aroon Time since high/low. Aroon Up/Down measure recency of extremes.
AROONOSC Aroon Oscillator Aroon Up minus Aroon Down. Single line: +100 to -100.
CHOP Choppiness Index Trendiness measure. High values = choppy. Low = trending.
DMH Ehlers Directional Movement with Hann Hann-windowed FIR filter on EMA-smoothed directional movement. Zero-centered.
DMX Jurik DMX Smoothed bipolar DMI using Jurik smoothing. Low noise.
DX Directional Movement Index Raw directional strength. Unsmoothed ADX component.
GHLA Gann High-Low Activator SMA(High)/SMA(Low) alternating on crossover.
HT_TRENDMODE Ehlers Hilbert Transform Trend vs Cycle Mode Ehlers Hilbert Transform. Binary trend/cycle mode detection.
ICHIMOKU Ichimoku Cloud Five-line system. Cloud defines support/resistance zones.
IMPULSE Elder Impulse System EMA + MACD histogram alignment. Color-coded trend/momentum filter.
MINUS_DI Minus Directional Indicator Downward directional movement as % of true range. 0-100.
MINUS_DM Minus Directional Movement Wilder-smoothed downward directional movement. Price units.
PFE Polarized Fractal Efficiency Trend efficiency: straight-line / total path distance.
PLUS_DI Plus Directional Indicator Upward directional movement as % of true range. 0-100.
PLUS_DM Plus Directional Movement Wilder-smoothed upward directional movement. Price units.
PTA Ehlers Precision Trend Analysis Dual highpass bandpass. Zero-centered near-zero-lag trend.
QSTICK Qstick MA of (Close - Open). Positive = buying pressure.
RAVI Chande Range Action Verification Index |SMA(short) SMA(long)| / SMA(long) × 100.
SUPER SuperTrend ATR-based trailing stop. Flips on breakout. Color-coded direction.
TTM_SQUEEZE TTM Squeeze BB inside KC squeeze detection with linear regression momentum. John Carter.
