Indicators Guide - Cash Machine Scanner

Scoring modes: Momentum (M) and Phoenix (P)

M Momentum

Targets stocks in a confirmed uptrend — breakouts, strong volumes, high ADX. Best during bullish markets.

Priority signals: SMA cross, strong bullish MACD, Momentum > 75th percentile, RSI 45–68, Smart Money.

P Phoenix

Targets stocks in an early reversal phase — oversold signals, bullish divergences, support bounces. Higher risk, higher upside.

Priority signals: RSI7 > RSI14, Williams %R oversold, CCI recovery, lower Bollinger bounce, Fibonacci 61.8%.

How to read the score? The displayed score (0–100) depends on the active mode. The same stock can score high in M (confirmed trend) and low in P (no reversal signal), or vice‑versa. The blue M or purple P badge indicates which mode is active in your current view.

Score /100 composition

Cash Potential (main signal)

Composite signal computed from bullish indicator confluence over a rolling window. Normalized value 0–1.

Level	M score	P score
Very strong (> 0.7)	+6 pts	+5 pts
Strong (> 0.5)	+3 pts	+2.5 pts

Smart Money (institutional volume)

Abnormally high volume ratio in a bullish context — often a sign of institutional accumulation.

Ratio	M/P score
> 1.5 (very strong)	+4 pts
> 1.2	+2 pts

Divergences (RSI, MACD, Stoch, Williams)

Price makes a new low while the indicator rises — early bullish reversal signal.

Indicator	M	P
RSI divergence	+1.5	+2.5
MACD divergence	+1.5	+2.0
Stoch divergence	+1.0	+1.5
Williams %R div.	+1.0	+1.5

Support / Fibonacci

Proximity to a major support (52‑week low, lower Bollinger band) or a Fibonacci retracement level.

Signal	M	P
Near strong support	+1.5	+2.5
Fib 61.8% (Golden)	+1.0	+2.0
Fib 38.2%	+2.0	+1.0

Trend indicators

SMA — Simple Moving Average

SMA(n) = (P1 + P2 + ... + Pn) / n

Periods used: 20, 50, 200 days.

SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200 → bullish SMA200: long‑term support/resistance

Signal	M	P
Price > SMA200	+3 pts	—
SMA50 > SMA200	+2 pts	—
SMA20 > SMA50	+2 pts	—
Price > SMA20 (P)	—	+1 pt

EMA — Exponential Moving Average

EMA(n) = α × Price + (1−α) × EMA_prev
α = 2 / (n+1)

Periods: 12, 26 days. More reactive than SMA.

EMA12 > EMA26 → bullish (+2 pts M/P)

MACD

MACD = EMA(12) − EMA(26)
Signal = EMA(9) of MACD
Histogram = MACD − Signal

Signal	M	P
MACD bullish cross	+2 pts	+1 pt
Histogram > 0	—	+0.5 pt
Bullish pattern	+2 pts	+1 pt

ADX — Average Directional Index

+DI, −DI over 14 periods
ADX = smoothed average of DX

Measures trend strength (not direction).

ADX	Meaning	Score
> 25	Strong trend	+3 pts
20–25	Moderate trend	+1 pt
< 20	Weak trend / range	0

Vortex +VI > −VI: Phoenix bonus +1 pt

Oscillators

RSI — Relative Strength Index (14)

RSI = 100 − 100/(1 + RS)
RS = Avg gains(14) / Avg losses(14)

Zone	M threshold	P threshold
Overbought	> 70	> 75
Neutral zone (bonus)	45–68 → +2 pts
Oversold	< 30

RSI7 > RSI14: Phoenix +2 pts / Momentum +1 pt

Stochastic %K/%D

%K = (Price − Low(14)) / (High(14) − Low(14)) × 100
%D = SMA(3) of %K

%K < 20: oversold %K > 80: overbought %K/%D cross: entry signal

Williams %R

%R = (Highest High(14) − Price) / (Highest High(14) − Lowest Low(14)) × −100

Similar to Stochastic, inverted scale (0 to −100).

%R < −80: oversold → Phoenix +1.5 pts %R > −20: overbought

CCI — Commodity Channel Index

CCI = (TP − SMA(20)) / (0.015 × Mean Deviation)
TP = (High + Low + Close) / 3

Phoenix recovery zone: CCI between −100 and 0 (oversold recovering).

CCI [−100, 0] rising → Phoenix +0.5 pt CCI > 0: bullish trend

KST — Know Sure Thing

KST = Σ (ROC(n) × weight) across 4 windows
KST Signal = SMA(9) of KST

Long‑term momentum indicator. KST > KST Signal = bullish.

Bullish KST cross → +1 pt Bearish KST → penalty −1 pt

Volume

Volume Ratio

Volume Ratio = Volume(d) / SMA(Volume, 20)

Ratio	Meaning
> 2.0	Very strong — significant event
1.5–2.0	Strong — trend confirmation
0.5–1.5	Normal
< 0.5	Weak — lack of interest

OBV — On-Balance Volume

OBV += Volume if Price > Price_prev
OBV −= Volume if Price < Price_prev

OBV↑ while price falls: bullish divergence OBV↓ while price rises: distribution

Smart Money Flow

Volume ratio > threshold on a bullish candle — quiet institutional accumulation signature.

Threshold	M/P score
Ratio > 1.5	+4 pts
Ratio > 1.2	+2 pts

Volatility

Bollinger Bands

Middle = SMA(20)
Upper = SMA(20) + 2 × σ(20)
Lower = SMA(20) − 2 × σ(20)

Price touches lower band: potential oversold (Phoenix bonus) Price touches upper band: potential overbought Bands tightening: volatility expansion likely

ATR — Average True Range

TR = Max(High−Low, |High−Close_prev|, |Low−Close_prev|)
ATR(14) = smoothed EMA of TR

Measures move amplitude — used to calibrate stop‑losses and position sizing.

ATR stop ≈ Entry − 1.5 × ATR(14)

Annualized volatility

σ_annual = σ_daily × √252

Exclusion filter in presets: tickers above the configured volatility threshold are removed from the scan.

Preset	Max threshold
Conservative	< 8%
Breakout	< 12%
Deep reversal	< 25%

Bullish divergences

Definition A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a new low while the technical indicator does not confirm (it stays flat or rises). This is an early-reversal signal — highly valued in Phoenix mode.

RSI divergence

Price: lower lows / RSI: higher lows.

Phoenix +2.5 pts Momentum +1.5 pts

MACD divergence

Price: lower lows / MACD histogram: rising.

Phoenix +2.0 pts Momentum +1.5 pts

Stochastic divergence

Price: lower lows / %K: higher lows.

Phoenix +1.5 pts Momentum +1.0 pt

Williams %R divergence

Price: lower lows / %R: rises from −80.

Phoenix +1.5 pts Momentum +1.0 pt

Patterns & key levels

Trendline bounce

Price touches or approaches an uptrend line and then rebounds, with confirming volume.

Phoenix +2.0 pts

Fibonacci levels

Levels: 23.6% / 38.2% / 50% / 61.8% / 78.6%
61.8% = Golden Ratio (φ − 1)

Level	M	P
61.8% (Golden)	+1.0	+2.0
38.2%	+2.0	+1.0

Historic support

Proximity to a major support: 52‑week lows, lower Bollinger band, or a key technical support zone.

Phoenix +2.5 pts Momentum +1.5 pts

Raw momentum (ROC)

Momentum = Price(d) − Price(d−n)
ROC = (Price(d) / Price(d−n) − 1) × 100

ROC percentile	Score
> 75th percentile	+3 pts (Momentum)
> 50th percentile	+1 pt (Momentum)

Risk management

Important reminder Cash Scanner’s score is a technical probability indicator — not investment advice. Always pair a high score with fundamental analysis and strict money management rules.

ATR stop-loss

Stop = Entry − (1.5 × ATR14)

Adaptive to volatility. A volatile stock requires a wider stop than a stable one.

Position sizing

Size = (Capital × Risk%) / (Entry − Stop)

Example: capital €10,000, risk 2%, entry 100, stop 95 → 40 shares.

Minimum risk/reward

R/R = (Target − Entry) / (Entry − Stop)

R/R ≥ 2: acceptable R/R ≥ 3: recommended R/R < 1: avoid

Signal confluence

The score is more reliable when multiple indicators from different categories agree.

Trend + Oscillator + Volume + Pattern

A score > 70 with ≥ 4 active signals across different categories is a high‑quality setup.
