Heiken Ashi Coloring Integration:
The integration of Heiken Ashi (HA) into the oscillator adds a powerful dimension of trend analysis. Heiken Ashi is known for smoothing price data to produce a cleaner and more understandable trend visualization.
I derive HA values (open, close, high, low) and use them to determine the current trend's direction and strength. Assigned distinct colors to the oscillator bars based on whether the HA candlesticks are bullish or bearish, and whether they indicate a strengthening or weakening trend. This is visualized with green shades for bullish trends and red shades for bearish trends. Additionally, a unique coloring (e.g., orange) is used when there's a shift in momentum, providing a clear signal of potential trend reversals.
Moving Average (SMA) with Glow Effect:
Incorporated a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the PSO to help smooth out short-term fluctuations and provide a clearer view of the underlying trend in the oscillator's movement. The SMA is a commonly used indicator to gauge the direction of the momentum over a specified period.
The glow effect adds a visual enhancement that helps highlight the SMA line against the backdrop of the oscillator histogram. This makes it easier to distinguish the SMA from the PSO, enhancing visibility in different market conditions. The coloring of the SMA line itself is dynamic, changing between green and red based on the direction of the trend, which aligns with the bullish or bearish sentiment indicated by the PSO values.
Enhanced Visualization and Usability:
By offering inputs to toggle the SMA and its glow effect, provided flexibility for users to customize their chart views based on personal preferences or specific analytical needs.
The combination of Heiken Ashi coloring and the dynamic SMA with a glow effect makes the PSO a more robust tool for traders who need to quickly assess trend strength, direction, and potential reversals without getting lost in noise and frequent price spikes.
