Supported indicators

Supported indicators, anchors, and rule primitives.

This page summarizes the Lexicon Beta QDL language surface: the indicators, anchors, comparators, and sequence tools available for building strategy rules.

It is a public language-surface summary for Private Beta, not a claim that every indicator or every setup is already covered.

01 — Trend indicators

Moving-average and trend-style indicators help define directional context.

Trend indicators help describe whether price is above, below, reclaiming, rejecting, or holding around a directional reference. In the current public language surface, that includes moving-average and related trend-style references traders already recognize.

These are useful when combined with anchors, comparators, sequence, and persistence rather than treated as a one-line signal by themselves.

02 — Momentum indicators

Momentum conditions help describe strength, weakness, and confirmation.

Momentum indicators can help express whether a move is strengthening, weakening, stretching, or reverting. Examples already consistent with the current page include RSI, DMI/ADX-style momentum context, stochastic conditions, and related directional-strength checks.

03 — Volatility indicators

Volatility and envelope indicators help describe expansion, compression, and band context.

Volatility indicators matter when a rule depends on range expansion, contraction, band interaction, or a change in trading conditions rather than just directional bias.

Public-facing examples here include Bollinger Bands, ATR, Keltner-style envelopes, and band-state language that can be combined with sequence and persistence rules.

04 — Volume indicators

Volume and relative-volume context can support setup confirmation.

Volume-oriented language helps describe whether participation is increasing, fading, or behaving unusually relative to recent context.

This stays in the language surface as supporting context, not as fake proof or a promise that one volume read can decide a setup by itself.

05 — VWAP

VWAP is a key intraday reference that works best when combined with structure.

VWAP is one of the most important intraday references in the Lexicon QDL language surface because traders often use it together with anchors, sequence, and persistence rather than as a standalone line.

A rule may use structures such as CLOSE CROSSUP VWAP for reclaim or cross-up behaviour, CLOSE CROSSDOWN VWAP for rejection or cross-back-below behaviour, and CLOSE > VWAP FOR 5 BARS for hold-above or persistence behaviour. Traders may still describe reclaim, reject, or hold behaviour in normal prose, but those behaviours should not be presented here as official V1 token chips.

06 — Price-reference / structure

Price-reference logic exists, but it is secondary to the broader language surface.

Lexicon can express rule logic around price-reference and structure concepts, but raw OHLC fields are not the public feature pillar of this page. The main point is how price references interact with indicators, anchors, comparators, and sequence.

That means structure-aware conditions can support setup definition without turning raw OHLC into the headline story.

07 — Anchor families

Lexicon can express rules around the levels traders actually watch.

Anchor families are central to the language surface because many setups depend on prior levels, opening structure, session ranges, and time-window references rather than on indicators alone.

In plain language, that includes prior-day levels, current-day levels, prior-day close, current-day open, opening print, first 5-minute highs and lows, first 15-minute highs and lows, opening range highs and lows, custom window levels, session highs and lows, Asia/London/New York levels, NY AM / NY PM levels, 90-minute cycle levels, and open-price anchors.

08 — Comparator and qualifier families

The language surface describes how a condition behaved, not just where a value printed.

Comparator and qualifier families let a trader express whether something was greater than, less than, equal, not equal, crossing, holding, stretching, fading, or breaking for the first time.

This is what helps Lexicon describe setup behaviour more precisely than a single above/below test.

09 — Sequence and persistence

Multi-step setup rules depend on sequence and must-hold logic.

Sequence and persistence tools help a trader express that one condition happened, another condition followed, and the combined setup needed to persist long enough to matter before an entry is allowed.

These primitives are part of why the language surface is about structured setup definitions rather than one signal firing in isolation.

10 — Example rule structures

Illustrative rule structures show how the language pieces can fit together.

02HIGH > PRIOR_DAY_HIGH THEN CLOSE < PRIOR_DAY_HIGH AND CLOSE < VWAP THEN ENTER SHORT

Beta boundaries

Keep the language-reference summary honest about what this page is and is not.

Lexicon is in Private Beta. It is research software only. It is not signals, not financial advice, not a profit system, and offers no guaranteed results.

The examples on this page are illustrative rule structures, not recommendations. This page summarizes the public Beta language surface only. It does not imply live trading, automated execution, fake proof, or unlimited setup coverage.

Private Beta

Apply if your workflow depends on combining indicators, anchors, and sequence clearly.

Private Beta review is a better fit for traders who want to express real setup context as research logic and help validate how the language surface should evolve.
