Volume-Weighted MACD Histogram [VWMACD] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume-Weighted MACD Histogram, first discussed by Buff Dormeier, is a modified version of MACD study. It calculates volume-averaged Close price for finding the histogram.
Sentiment Zone Oscillator [SZO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sentiment Zone Oscillator, developed by Walid Khalil, is a complementing oscillator to VZO and PZO.
To quote Walid:
>> The sentiment zone oscillator (SZO) is a leading contrary oscillator that measures the extreme emotions of a single market or share. >> It measures and defines both extremes, bullishness (overoptimism) and bearishness (overpessimism), that could lead to a change >> in sentiment, eventually changing the trend of the time frame under study. The SZO was devised on the belief that after several waves >> of rising prices, investors begin to get bullish on the stock with increasing confidence since the price has been rising for some time. >> The SZO measures that bullishness/bearishness and marks overbought/oversold levels.
SZO has its own oversold/overbought bands. Also, when SZO goes above 7, it indicates extreme optimism. When the SZO goes below -7, it indicates extreme pessimism.
