This list contains technical indicators that are available for different stocks. All these KPIs are numerical and are updated daily. They can be used with all query types.

KPI	Description
SMA50	Simple Moving Average for the last 50 days.
SMA200	Simple Moving Average for the last 200 days.
RSI	Relative Strength Index using a period of 14 days.
MACD	Moving Average Convergence/Divergence calculated using EMA for the past 12 and 26 days.

In general, there is a large set of technical indicators that are available. We will be adding support for the following ones in the next months:

Technical Indicator	Description
Momentum	Difference between two prices at different days.
Rate of change	Momentum divided by the first day.
Money Flow Index	Shows how much a stock was traded, very similar to RSI. Shows enthusiasm in the market for that stock.
Chaikin Money Flow	Similar to Money Flow, except that not the total cumulative volume is used, but just a specific period.
Negative Volume Index	Related: Positive Volume Index. Old, but still useful for reversals.
On-balance Volume	Useful to find weak/strong moves in the market. This indicator can confirm whether a move is really what it appears to be.
Force Index	Similar to On-balance Volume, this indicator shows whether there is a strong upward/downward trend.
Ease of Movement	Similar to Force Index or On-balance Volume, this indicator shows the strength of a trend.
Donchian Channel	Very widespread indicator for observing the volatility of a stock, but also used for creating alerts on cross-overs.
Acceleration Band	Simple moving average with special channel.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo	Shows trends based on moving-average, includes multiple elements such as resistance and support.
Keltner channel	One 10-day moving average line with a fixed range channel. Alternatives for example include using an exponential moving average.
Bollinger Bands	Main difference to Keltner channel is using standard deviation as a basis for the channel. Very widespread indicator.
Commodity channel index	Good for indicating cycles using momentum (not only for commodities, but also for stocks etc.)
Mass Index	Able to predict trend reversals. Uses exponential moving averages.
Range expansion index	Momentum oscillator, showing strength of price movements and overbought/oversold levels.
Smart money index	Simple idea: Bet against the dumb money in the morning, and bet with the evening (smart money) trend.
True strength index	Shows both trend direction and indicates overbought/oversold levels. Uses exponential moving averages and momentum.
Ulcer index	Shows the degree of volatility (but only downward).
Parabolic SAR	Good for finding reversals.
Detrended Price Oscillator	Shows overbought and oversold levels based on moving averages.
Stochastic oscillator	Shows overbought and oversold levels based on support and resistance levels.
KST oscillator	Oscillator based on Rate of Change, good for detecting cycles.
Ultimate oscillator	Based on buying or selling pressure - more complicated than other oscillators, tries to fix the issues of other oscillators.
Rahul Mohindar oscillator	Used to gauge market direction. Crossovers (zero point) are of interest.
Percent Price oscillator	Difference between two moving averages, shows overbought/oversold levels.
Chande Momentum oscillator	Predicts momentum of a stock.
Trix	Oscillator based on three smoothed exponential moving averages. This is a lagging indicator.
Chaikin oscillator	Measures momentum of the Accumulation Distribution line using MACD.
Zero lag exponential moving average	Double and triple exponential moving average have inherent lag. The idea here is to use de-lagged data to fix this.
Rising moving average	Heavily focussed on trend - if a stock rises for a few days, this is a buy signal.
Double exponential moving average	Places more weight on recent values to get rid of the lag issue.
Triple exponential moving average	Similar to Doulbe exponential moving average, but uses a triple EMA.
Welles Wilder’s Smoothing Average	Better smoothed moving average.
Absolute currency strength	Used in Forex.
Accumulation/distribution index	Estimates trend based on who is currently in control: Buyers or sellers.
Advance-Decline	Useful for estimating the sentiment in whole sectors or markets. Keeps track of advancing/declining stocks (simply whether the stock is above or below the last close price) and the advancing/declining volume. Based on that, multiple indicators are possible, such as Advance-Decline Oscillator.
Average directional movement index	Only good for trend strength (no direction).
Average true range	Shows the degree of price volatility, based on a 14-period smoothed moving average.
Relative currency strength	Similar to Absolute currency strength, used in Forex.
Williams %R	Shows overbought/oversold levels.
Vortex	Used to identify the start of a trend. Uses true range.
Volume-price trend	Very similar to on-balance volume.
Aroon	Shows strength of trend.
Linear regression	Applies a linear regression and predicts price that way.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)	Weighted moving average but includes volume as weights.
Envelope	Shows overbought/oversold levels with multiple simple/exponential moving averages.
Heikin-Ashi	Show trending periods and reversals.
KDJ	Based on the Stochastic oscillator, shows trend.
Psychological Line	Very interesting indicator showing the level of psychological resistance currently in the given stock (e.g. people not wanting to buy/sell due to movements).
Rank Correlation Index	Shows reversals.
Ratiocator	Shows correlations between two stocks.
