"5 AI Indicators That Give You an Edge"
A deep dive into ChartBrain's proprietary AI indicators — what they measure, how they work, and when to use them.
Beyond Traditional Indicators
Most charting platforms give you the same 200+ indicators — RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages. They're useful, but everyone has them. When everyone sees the same signals, the edge disappears.
ChartBrain's five proprietary AI indicators combine multiple data sources into composite scores that surface insights you can't get from any single traditional indicator.
1. CB Momentum Score (Free)
Type: Oscillator (-100 to +100)
The Momentum Score synthesizes four distinct momentum signals:
- RSI Divergence Detection (30%) — Identifies price/RSI divergences that precede reversals
- Volume-Price Confirmation (25%) — Validates momentum with corresponding volume behavior
- Multi-Timeframe ROC (25%) — Rate-of-change across multiple lookback periods for trend agreement
- Stochastic RSI Extremes (20%) — Captures oversold/overbought conditions with momentum context
How to read it: Values above +20 suggest bullish momentum. Below -20, bearish. Color intensity saturates at ±40. Look for divergences between price and the momentum score for early reversal signals.
2. CB Trend Strength (Starter — $9/mo)
Type: Oscillator (0-100)
Measures the quality and strength of the current trend using four components:
- MA Alignment (30%) — EMA 8/21/50/200 ordering
- ADX Component (25%) — Directional movement intensity
- Volume Trend (20%) — Recent vs historical volume ratio
- Price Structure (25%) — Higher-highs/higher-lows pattern
How to read it: Below 25 = weak/choppy. 25-50 = developing. 50-75 = strong. Above 75 = very strong. Red and amber colors mean stay cautious. Blue and green mean the trend is tradeable.
3. CB Anomaly Detector (Starter — $9/mo)
Type: Overlay (colored circles on the price chart)
Flags statistically unusual market events using four tests:
- Price Z-Score (35%) — >2.3σ deviation from 20-bar rolling mean
- Volume Spike (25%) — >2.8x historical average volume
- Gap Detection (20%) — Opening gap exceeding 1.2x ATR
- Bollinger Breach (20%) — Band breach exceeding 0.7x ATR
How to read it: Green dots below candles = bullish anomaly. Red dots above = bearish. Each dot marks the FIRST day of an unusual move. Expect approximately 12 anomalies per year on liquid stocks.
4. CB Support/Resistance AI (Pro — $29/mo)
Type: Overlay (horizontal step-lines)
Identifies the 3 most important support and 3 most important resistance levels using:
- 5-bar pivot detection
- Agglomerative clustering (0.5% threshold)
- Volume profile analysis (30 bins)
- Multi-factor scoring: touches × 2 + recency + volume proximity
How to read it: Brighter lines = stronger levels. Watch for price reactions at these levels. If price breaks through a bright resistance with volume, it often becomes new support.
5. CB Forecast Cone (Pro — $29/mo)
Type: Overlay (3 projection lines)
Projects price 10 bars forward with:
- Historical volatility (20-bar log-return σ)
- Momentum drift (×0.5 bias)
- Mean reversion toward EMA50 (×0.3 pull)
- 95% confidence interval (1.96σ bounds)
How to read it: The center line shows momentum-biased projection. A widening cone = high volatility. Best used alongside S/R AI to see where projections intersect key price levels.
Using Them Together
The real power is in combining indicators. A setup where the Momentum Score turns positive, Trend Strength is above 50, and the Anomaly Detector fires a bullish signal — that's a confluence of evidence that no single indicator provides.
Layer the S/R AI and Forecast Cone on top, and you have a complete picture: where price is likely going, how strong the move is, and where the key levels are.
