Capital Line Pack
The Capital Line Pack (CLP) indicator is a technical analysis tool that is designed to help traders and investors identify potential buying and selling opportunities in financial markets by using, inter alia, kernel regression methodoliges. It is a standalone indicator that can be placed on top of price chart displaying the Base MA, Capital Line and standard deviation bands.
The Capital Line is calculated based on volatility, measured by a z-scores* of a selected price source and a moving average (Base MA). The Base MA serves as the foundation for the Capital Line calculation and plays a critical role in determining its behavior and responsiveness to price movements. By selecting different types of moving averages as the Base MA, traders can adjust the sensitivity of the Capital Line to changes in market conditions, which can impact the signals generated by the indicator. The Base MA can be set at the user's choice including: SMA, EMA, Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), Kernel Regression MA, HEMA, DEMA, T3.
For example, if a trader selects a EMA as the Base MA, the Capital Line will respond more quickly to changes in price compared to a more smoothed moving average, like a Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) or Kernel Regression MA. This means that the Capital Line will be more sensitive to short-term price fluctuations with a EMA as the Base MA, while a VWMA or Kernel Regression MA will be less reactive to short-term price movements and more focused on longer-term trends.
Therefore, the choice of Base MA can have a significant impact on the behavior of the Capital Line, and traders need to select the most appropriate Base MA that suits their trading strategy and risk management preferences.
*The z-scores are calculated by comparing the current price to the average price over a certain period of time, and then dividing the difference by the standard deviation of the prices over that same period of time.
The Bands are calculated by adding and subtracting a standard deviation from the Base MA.
Bands help identify the volatility of the market, and when the bands are narrow, it suggests that the market is in a range-bound or flat period.
Indicator incorporates trade signals (labels and alerts). The method by which signals are generated can be selected by the user from several options:
One of the standout features of our indicator is the ability to choose from several different style themes:
Pro
Modern
and Stealth
The "Pro" and "Modern" themes offer a clean and visually appealing display, while the "Stealth" theme is perfect for traders who want to focus on the price action or other indicators. The "Stealth" theme shades all the elements of the indicator while still keeping them in the field of visibility, allowing traders to concentrate on the most important aspects of their charts.
In addition to its trade signals, alerts, labels, and customizable themes, the indicator also offers several trend highlighting options to help traders visually backtest their trades. These options include candle coloring, background coloring, and highlighting with a histogram.
The candle coloring feature allows traders to customize the color of the candlesticks on their chart based on the direction of the trend. For example, bullish candles could be colored in teal, while bearish candles could be colored purple etc. This can make it easier for traders to identify trend movements and backtest their strategy.
The background coloring feature works similarly to the candle coloring feature, but it applies a color to the background of the chart rather than the candlesticks. This can be a useful way to highlight trends on the chart without obscuring the price action.
The histogram highlighting feature displays a histogram on the chart to show the difference between the upper and lower bands. This can be a useful way to visualize the strength of the trend and backtest trades based on the histogram readings.
NB! Remember, it is important to have a solid trading plan in place and to properly manage risk when trading.
Some traders may, depending upon customized settings, use the Capital Line as a capital risk management feature in trading. Our Capital Line indicator can be a useful tool, but it should not be the only factor considered when making trade decisions.

Indicator incorporates trade signals (labels and alerts). The method by which signals are generated can be selected by the user from several options:
- Cap line color switch: Turning blue when it rises and red when it starts to fall.
- Cap Line crosses the Base MA: This can be useful when the Base MA is weighted, for example, by volume, and the Cap Line Bandwidth and Relative weighting are set to small values.
- Price crosses the Base MA: This is a popular and widely-used method that can provide reliable signals during trending market conditions. However, it may generate false signals during range-bound or flat market conditions.
- Crossing of secondary MAs which can be selected in the indicator settings: This method provides traders with more flexibility and control over the signals generated by the indicator, but it may also be more complex and require more advanced technical analysis skills.
