Finance Conduit is based on Tzang's Conduit. Tzang‘s Conduit was raised by Dr.YC Chan. You can read more about his theory in his website: http://www.ycchan.net/theory.aspx.
Tzang's Conduit provides an objective way of checking the probability of the price going up or down based on the historical price trends.
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average was created by Perry J. Kaufman. You can find more information in http://fxcodebase.com/wiki/index.php/Kaufman's_Adaptive_Moving_Average_(KAMA) .
Selling Pressure Ratio(SPR) was created by Hayashi Noriyuki. I can't find a English website describe it but it's very like the Money Flow Index (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_flow_index).
Acceleration Bands was found by Price Headley, you can find more information in his book(Big Trends in Trading) or his website(http://www.bigtrends.com/price-headley/). Here we use SPR Period as it's period for calculation.
Mansfield Relative Strength indicator is used to compare the stock price with the weighted index. If the value is positive, it's stronger than the weighted index, else it's weaker. Currently supporting comparing Taiwan Stocks(.tw/.two) with ^TWII and Mainland China's stock(.ss) with 000001.ss and Hong Kong(.hk) stocks with ^HSI and England stocks(.l) with ^FTSE and German stocks(.de) with ^GDAXI and France stocks(.pa) with ^FCHI and Korean stocks with ^KS11, all others compare with S&P500(^GSPC), if it shows ^GSPC+5, means it's stronger than S&P500 for 5 days. You can find it's algorithm here(http://stageanalysis.net/reference/how-to-create-the-mansfield-relative-strength-indicator/558).
Big Volume scan is used to detect if the average periods' volumes are greater than previous comparison periods' average multiply the multiplier and the last close price is greater than the SMA value. If detected, it'll show BV. Also if the last trade date's price is greater than SMA value, it'll show SMA+x, means greater for x days, or SMA-x for less for x days.
