These aren’t generic indicators you’ll find in every trading book. They’re tools I’ve built and refined over 15+ years of trading Emini futures – designed to show you what actually matters: volume, market breadth, trend structure, and professional positioning.

Market Breadth & Sentiment

TRIN Indicator – One of the few truly leading stock market indicators. See when market breadth is, or is not, confirmed by buying and selling volume.

Commitment of Traders Indicator – Visualize COT data directly on your charts. See what commercial hedgers and large speculators are doing.

Intermarket Oscillator – Compare related markets to find divergences and confirmations. When bonds move, stocks often follow.

Better Rotation Indicator – Tracks global macro rotations across 8 major ETFs. See money flowing from one asset class to another.

Trend & Volume

Auto Trend Line Indicator – Automatically plots trend lines and highlights congestion zones where breakouts start. No more guessing where to draw lines.

Better X Trend Indicator – Uses explosion and exhaustion volume to determine trend direction. Trend indicators are everywhere – this one actually works.

Better Volume Indicator – Most traders ignore volume. Mistake. This indicator identifies climactic volume, churn, and low-volume tests – the footprints professionals leave behind.

Utilities

Vertical Line Indicator – Plot vertical lines at market open, close, and the 11 am reversal window. Simple but essential for day traders and swing traders alike.

Stock Market Crash Indicator – Track the levels that confirm corrections and crashes. Use these with resting buy orders to dollar-cost average into long-term positions.

Stock Market Seasonality Indicator – Historical seasonal patterns for the stock market. But use with caution – seasonality alone isn’t an edge.
