The Pattern Trapper offers three separate indicator packages in three different formats - Tradestation, Sierra Chart, and Excel spreadsheet.

Indicator Package #1
The indicators in this package are used to identify intraday support and resistance levels as well as measure the momentum behind intraday price swings. This package includes the following indicators:

Pivot System Support & Resistance Levels - used by pit traders to determine relative value based on prior day price action. Significant shifts in market psychology often occur near these points. This indicator plots all 7 levels using an "auto-scaling" feature - levels are plotted only if price falls within adjacent zones. This prevents the vertical scale of the chart from being spread too wide.

20 period Exponential Moving Averages - The "dynamic" characteristics of the 20 period EMA makes this indicator an important tool. It's ability to react in accordance to more immediate changes in the market environment make it a valuable aid in creating structure out of essentially unstructured events. This indicator plots the 5, 15, and 30 minute 20EMA on the same 5 minute chart.

Yesterday's High, Low, Close, and today's Open - These levels represent extreme points of apparent value. As such, they contain the potential to act as support and resistance levels throughout the trading day. Price behavior near these levels can offer valuable clues as to the market's underlying bias.

3/10 Oscillator - The 3/10 Oscillator measures and compares price momentum behind successive market swings, allowing the user to assess whether the current swing direction is likely to continue or reverse.

Indicator Package #2
These indicators are used to identify trend, volatility, and cyclical positioning. This package includes the following indicators:

ADX Oscillator with Trend Bars - ADX (originally developed by J. Welles Wilder) is used to identify trend and trend strength in any timeframe. Trend Bars plotted directly beneath ADX help to quickly identify trend direction.

Double Stochastic - a modified stochastic oscillator designed to identify the cyclical components contained in any price series. Most often used with daily or half-day charts.

7 Period %K - used in conjunction with the Double Stochastic to help identify price cycles. A turn of this indicator from its overbought or oversold zone is usually a good indication that a new trend has begun and at least several more bars of new short term direction should follow.

Historical Volatility - measures the degree of price fluctuation over specific periods of time. When Historical Volatility values move under trigger level, potential exists for the development of wide-range days which trend in a single direction - the kind of days that are well-suited for capturing large profits.

Indicator Package #3
This indicator package offers a version of the Pit Pivot System that employ two user-definable modifications. The first allows for mid-day recalculations (typically around the noon hour), and the second offers calculations that incorporate the current day's open (most often used on days with large opening gaps).

Indicator Packages are priced as follows:
