About The Trading Indicators
The VIDYA or Variable Index Dynamic Average uses an exponential smoothing as a base of varying the speed or the trend each day.
It then deploys a pivotal smoothing constant and varies the speed by using a factor base on the relative volatility to increase or decrease the constant.
Volatility measure based on the standard deviation compared with a longer historic pattern.
The 5_34_5 is an EMA custom indicator with an obvious strange name and oscillates around the 0.00 signal level.
It pops up in its own indicator window and comprises of two lines (light blue and a red).
The 36 EMA is an exponential moving average that has its period set at 36 and reduces the lag by adding more weight to recent prices.
