Here are three back-tested strategies that utilize the XHMaster exclusively. Xmaster Formula Indicator (often referred to as )
At its core, the XHMaster Formula Indicator is a hybrid algorithmic tool that combines Volume Spread Analysis (VSA), Relative Strength Index (RSI) divergence, and Fibonacci retracement levels into a single coherent dashboard.
Unlike standard indicators (like a simple Moving Average or MACD) that rely solely on price and time, the XHMaster applies a "master formula" to weigh volume against price velocity. It was originally developed by a proprietary trading desk in Singapore to handle the erratic volatility of the Hang Seng Index and the Crypto market simultaneously.
The "Master Formula" is generally represented by the following logic (simplified):
XHM Score = (Delta Volume * Momentum Crossover) + (Volatility Compression / Expansion)
