█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio
Confirmation 1: RSX of Double MACD as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ RSX of Double MACD
What is RSX?
The Jurik RSX (Relative Strength Index) is a technical indicator used in financial markets to measure the strength of price movement. It was developed by Mark Jurik and is based on the RSI formula, with the addition of smoothing and other modifications.
The Jurik RSX is designed to be smoother and more responsive than traditional RSI indicators, making it more useful for detecting trends and trading signals. It is also less prone to false signals and noise, which can be a problem with some other technical indicators.
The Jurik RSX can be used in a variety of ways, including as a trend-following indicator or a momentum indicator . It can also be combined with other indicators and trading strategies to improve overall performance.
What is MACD?
MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence Divergence, and it is a popular technical analysis indicator used by traders and investors to identify trends in the financial markets. It is composed of two lines, a MACD line and a signal line, and a histogram that shows the difference between the two lines.
The MACD line is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. The signal line is a 9-period EMA of the MACD line. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it is considered a bullish signal, indicating that the momentum is shifting upwards. When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it is considered a bearish signal, indicating that the momentum is shifting downwards.
The histogram is a graphical representation of the difference between the MACD line and the signal line. When the histogram is above the zero line, it indicates that the MACD line is above the signal line and the trend is bullish. When the histogram is below the zero line, it indicates that the MACD line is below the signal line and the trend is bearish.
The MACD is a versatile indicator that can be used on different time frames and with different securities. Traders and investors often use it in conjunction with other technical analysis indicators and fundamental analysis to make informed decisions about buying and selling securities.
What is RSX of Double MACD?
RSX of Double MACD is a specialized version of the classic MACD . Normally the MACD calculation ends with the difference between fast/slow EMAs, this version of MACD takes the calculation one step further by passing the MACD signal into an RSX RSI function to derive a smoother MACD bound from 0 to 100.

[SK] Double MACDThe Double MACD indicator is precisely two different MACD indicators plotted on the same axis for precise visual correlation between each other.
This correlation provides more information than a single regular MACD by allowing you to compare the signals of a shorter timeframe to the default or longer timeframe,
showing the strength of the change in momentum and the peak of the momentum between both configurations.
The indicator has cloud options by default if you toggle on the MACD / Signal lines for better readability.
The cloud will change color to the line on top of it's set. This is to help you not get lost in the 4 different lines.
Customize the indicator to your preference and make it your own
If you'd like a candle like visualization, change the short MACD plot style to a histogram.
For a beautiful double bars style, select bars on both configurations and set the transparency to 30 - 40
For a dynamic moving average style, go with the line plot style ( default )
All MACD/Signal lines are toggled off by default, toggle them on in the inputs section.
On the styles panel, you can turn off the cloud fills or the lines.
Change all the colors you'd like!
