Version 6.5 - March 11, 2016

New Chart Studies

We have recently added more than 60 new technical indicators to IB TWS for Mobile platforms. Indicators include:

• Accumulation\Distribution - Attempts to quantify the flow of money into and out of a given stock. In theory, knowing this money/volume flow may help you to recognize an upcoming move in the stock price.
• ADX\DMI - Trend indicator comprising three lines that shows the strength of a trend, either up or down.
• ADXR - A moving average applied to the ADX indicator designed to show the strength of a trend, either up or down.
• Adaptive Moving Average - A moving average that accounts for volatility and follows prices closely when noise is low.
• Aroon Oscillator - A trend-following indicator that gauges the strength of a current trend and the likelihood that it will continue.
• Aroon Up\Down - Measures the strength of a stock's uptrend or downtrend.
• Accumulation Swing Index - Attempts to show the phantom line which represents the “real market,” which theoretically occurs among the open, high, low and close prices.
• Average True Range - Used to determine the volatility of the market.
• Bollinger Bands - Bollinger Bands measure volatility by plotting a series of three bands.
• Bollinger Band Width - Bollinger Bands measure volatility by plotting a series of three bands.
• Commodity Channel Index - A price momentum indicator designed to identify cyclical turns in commodities pricing.
• Chaikin Oscillator - Monitors the flow of money in and out of the market.
• Chaikin Volatility - Shows the difference between two moving averages of a volume-weighted accumulation-distribution line.
• Chande Momentum Oscillator - Attempts to capture the up/down momentum of a security.
• Chande Volatility Index Dynamic Average - A moving average that automatically adjusts its speed based on market volatility.
• Chaikin Money Flow - Measures Money Flow Volume over a set period of time.
• Donchian Channel - A simple trend-following breakout system.
• Donchian Channel Width - A useful indicator for seeing the volatility of a market price.
• Double Exponential Moving Average - A fast-acting moving average that is more responsive to market changes than a traditional moving average.
• Departure Chart - Measures the difference between two moving averages of price; one short and one long.
• DMI - Designed to help you see whether or not an instrument is currently trending.
• Detrended Price Oscillator - Strips out price trends in an effort to estimate the length of price cycles from peak to peak, or trough to trough.
• Envelope - Plots a band of two moving averages, one which is shifting upwards, the other shifting downwards, to help define a stock's upper and lower boundaries.
• Ease of Movement - A technical momentum indicator that can help illustrate the relationship between the rate of an asset's price change and its volume.
• Exponential Moving Average - The exponential moving average gives more weight to the latest prices and includes all of the price data in the life of the instrument.
• Fast Stochastic Oscillator - Provides information about the location of a current close in relation to the period's high and low.
• Force Index - Uses price and volume to assess the power behind a move or identify possible turning points.
• High Low Bands - Most effective when it comes to trending markets, and may generate signals in trending markets.
• Hull Moving Average - Improves on smoothing price fluctuations, and also accounts for price lag.
• Historical Volatility Ratio - The percentage of short to long average historical volatility.
• Intraday Intensity - Approximates the volume of trading for a specified security in a given day.
• Keltner Channel - Sensitive to volatility, and plots an "envelope" of two bands above and below the middle line, which represents a 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
• Lane's Stochastic Oscillator - Provides information about the location of a current close in relation to the period's high and low.
• Linear Regression Curve - Used mainly to identify trend direction and is sometimes used to generate buy and sell signals.
• Least Squares Moving Average - Goes one step further than linear regression by estimating what would happen if the regression line continued.
Least Squares Moving Average is used mainly as a crossover signal with another moving average or with itself.
• Linear Regression R-Squared - An indicator used to determine the strength of the dominant market trend.
It is typically used with other indicators such as Linear Regression Slope.
• Linear Regression Slope - A common statistical technique used to identify the strength and direction of a dominant market trend.
• Moving Average Convergence/Divergence - Shows the correlation between two moving averages.
• Mass Index - Suggests that a reversal of the current trend will likely take place when the range widens beyond a certain point.
• Money Flow Index - Uses both price and volume to measure buying and selling pressure.
• Momentum - Measures price change.
• Moving Standard Deviation - Provides a good indication of volatility.
• Negative Volume Index - Identifies when so-called “smart money” is driving the current trend.
• On Balance Volume - A momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price.
• Parabolic SAR - Helps determine good exit and entry points.
• Percent B - Can be used to identify overbought and oversold situations.
• Price Oscillator - Shows the difference between two moving averages, in points.
• Percent Price Oscillator - A momentum oscillator for price.
• Positive Volume Index - Intended to track price movements which the 'uninformed' crowd is trading.
• Price Volume Trend - Horizontal histogram that helps determine the strength of trends and warn of reversals.
• Rate Of Change - A refined version of Momentum.
• Relative Strength - Charts the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock based on the last closing price.
• Relative Volatility Index - Measures the direction of volatility.
• Simple Moving Average - The simple moving average sums the prices (you can choose from the closing price, the VWAP time-weighted price or the high/low/close average price) for a specific number of data points and divides by that number.
• Slow Stochastic Oscillator - Shows the location of the close relative to the high-low range over a set number of periods.
• Stochastic Oscillator - Shows the location of the close relative to the high-low range over a set number of periods.
• Stochastic RSI - Applies the stochastic calculation to the Relative Strength Indicator.
• Swing Index - Tries to determine the real strength and direction of the market.
• Triple Exponential Moving Average - Smooths price fluctuations and filters out volatility, making it easier to identify trends with little lag.
• Triangular Moving Average - Basically a double-smoothed Simple Moving Average.
• TRIX - Displays the percent rate of change of a triple exponentially smoothed moving average.
• Typical Price - A useful filter for moving average systems.
• Ultimate Oscillator - Designed to capture momentum across three different time frames.
• Volume * PMO - A price and volume momentum oscillator.
• Weighted Moving Average - The weighted moving average gives each data point a weight proportionate to its number in the sequence and divides by the sum of its weights.
• Wilder Moving Average - Similar to an Exponential Moving Average but responds more slowly.
• Williams Oscillator - Identifies the overbought/oversold levels.
