About The Trading Indicators

The KijunTenkan+.ex4 custom indicator is a trend following indicator with two lines (red and blue), where their intersection below or above price is used to gauge trend.

The Klinger Oscillator or KVO is a custom indicator developed by Stephen Klinger and is based on turnovers.

It shares a whole lot of similarities with the traditional MACD, but differs in the display of real-time imbalances between buying and selling pressures.
