Indicator «IMMI» (Intraday Money Management Indicator) is our attempt to combine technical analysis with money management and put it into a form of technical indicator.
Using our unique mechanics of trend detection earlier proposed in “KenJi” indicator we follow basic money management rules to define moments when trading is reasonable and when it is not. To do this we calculate profit/stop ratio at each moment of time.
To ease the trading process indicator «IMMI» displays on the chart stop-loss and take-profit lines as well as trading signals.

Structure of the indicator

Stop-loss lines are marked red and take-profit lines are marked blue. Depending on current trend the stop-loss lines can be above current price (case of downward trend) and below current price (case of upward trend). The same is true for the take-profit lines: they are above current price when the upward trend is detected and below for the case of downward trend.
To ease the trading process indicator displays on the chart “buy” and “sell” signals. These signals are divided into 2 groups: standard (trading with basic lot size) and aggressive (trading with double basic lot size). Aggressive signals appear when profit/stop ratio is above 2.
When no tendency is detected or current prices are inappropriate from the position of money management, “NO SIGNAL” mark is displayed on the chart.

- Slow Average Period – period of the slow average. The bigger the period is the more conservative reaction of the average for the price changes are.

- Correlation Period – period used in correlation analysis to calculate the level of interconnection between the averages;
- Correlation Level – threshold for the level of correlation used to define trend. The higher the value is the more confirmed the trend is;
- Levels Period - period used to calculate stop-loss and take-profit values.
- Aggressiveness – the higher the value is the wider stop-loss and take-profit lines are.
