The Systems Lab: PRX Indicator
This PRX Indicator includes all the elements necessary to run the PRX Trading System or to incorporate any of its elements into your own analysis and we’ve made it available here for those that want to use the same tools that we use ourselves.
The primary concept is the identification of trends by way of a customized PSAR (Parabolic Stop and Reverse) calculation that uses linear regression to reduce market noise and highlight trends for longer using a method pioneered by Dr Ken Long. This means that price can penetrate the PSAR dots without causing a trend reversal to occur (flipping the dots over to the opposing side) which would normally occur with the traditional PSAR idea.
The intent is to help identify and stick with trends longer, adapt to changes in volatility by using linear regression as a noise filter and potentially capture large outlier moves. A linear regression curve is plotted as well in order to help identify when a change in trend will occur by it crossing the PSAR dots.
In order to make the trend as clear as possible the bars can be colored as either up-trend or down-trend with user selectable colors.
A moving average filter is also included as a longer term market condition filter in order to avoid periods when the market is against this average which is an inherent part of the system.
Please note that we also have a PRX Strategy version available which includes everything in this indicator as well as all the system entry and exit orders which allows them to be displayed on the charts and backtested in different configurations to see how specific configurations of the system could have performed in the past.
