This updates Blau's excellent Candlestick oscillator to be adaptive by using the length of a scaled stochastic indicator and an exponent (for calculating the smoothing coefficient) to obtain the moving average. Check out the options page for configurable variables. More info on Ergodic Oscillator: Book: "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" by William...

The slow relative strength index (SRSI) indicator created by Vitali Apirine is a momentum price oscillator similar to RSI in its application and interpretation. Oscillating between 0 and 100, it generates both OB/OS signals and midline (50) cross over signals and divergences. As author suggests, bullish/bearish divergences generated by SRSI are not as effective...

Bored of Ehlers yet? :) I still have plenty of Ehlers in my collection, was thinking of publishing one of his Fishers or Adaptive RVI next, but @ChartArt requested Smoothed Adaptive Momentum (SAM), so here we go... This is my 200th script (not including the variations and other custom scripts I shared over PM). My complete list of indicators here - bit.ly Now,...

Lets go with another adaptive indicator today. BTW, this is my 199th script (1 more and I am planning to work on my other backlogs). This is the adaptive version of Ehlers' Center Of Gravity (CG) (already published, check "More info" below). Idea behind making something "adaptive" is to calculate it using dynamic cycle period inputs instead of static setting. In...

Another famous Ehlers indicator. This is the adaptive version of Ehlers' Cyber Cycle (CC) (already published, check "More info" below). Idea behind making something "adaptive" is to calculate it using dynamic cycle period inputs instead of static setting. In adaptive cyber cycle, Ehlers uses the dominant cycle period as the length in computation of...

These Bollinger Bands are exponential because the variance is calculated using the exponential moving average, rather than just adding the normal standard deviation to the ema. This may be more useful because the exponential standard deviation should be more sensitive to near term increases or decreases in volatility. Please do not forget that Bollinger Bands...

Another one from Ehlers. Ehlers likes the idea behind StochRSI so much, he dedicated a full chapter in his book (linked below) on how stoch works with his "superlative" (his words, not mine) indicators. This is stoch of his CG oscillator. Standard stochastic oscillator uses fixed period for calculations and does not adjust to the constantly changing market...

Another one to add to Ehlers collection. The MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) adapts to price movement based on the rate of change of phase as measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator. This method features a fast attack average and a slow decay average so that composite average rapidly ratchets behind price changes and holds the average value until the...

One of the early cycle indicators from John Ehlers. Ehlers suggests using this with ITrend (see linked PDF below). Osc/signal crosses identify entry/exit points. Options page has the usual set of configurable params. More info: - Simple Cycle Indicator: www.mesasoftware.com List of my public indicators: bit.ly List of my app-store indicators: ...

One more to add to the Ehlers collection. Ehlers Instantaneous Trendline, by John Ehlers, identifies the market trend by doing removing cycle component. I think, this simplicity is what makes it attractive :) To understand Ehlers's thought process behind this, refer to the PDF linked below. There are atleast 6 variations of this ITrend. This version is from...

As part of my "Ehler's Indicators week", here's one more. CG Oscillator, by John Ehlers, provides a smoothed, essentially zero lag oscillator for identifying market turning points. The "CG" in the name of the oscillator refers to "Center Of Gravity" of the prices over the window of observation. Entry/Exit are based on the osc/signal crossovers. Enabling the...

This is a modified form of PSO (original idea by Lee Leibfarth), to use RSI as the input. This provides a quick response to changes in market direction. This highly sensitive indicator allows for early anticipation of price turns and can be used to establish definitive trading zones that identify potential trading opportunities. Entry/Exit rules are the same...

The Cyber Cycle Indicator, developed by John Ehlers, is used for isolating the cycle component of the market from its trend counterpart. Unlike other oscillators like RSI, Cyber Cycle Indicator's wave has a variable amplitude. Use the osc/signal crossover for entry/exit points. You can enable highlighting the crossovers by using region fills (via options page). I...

This is ATR in pips. This was requested by user @ElixiumCapital. ATRPIPs in his words: "ATR PIPs is useful for finding markets with your desired amount of volatility, for example I prefer to trade forex pairs with the highest amount of volatility in the past 5 days, setting the length parameter to 5 days. And setting my stop loss at 25% to 33% of the the...

--- Updated: May 19 2015 ---- Applicable only If you are setting up alerts: I noticed I have switched the plot names. Histo shd be the MACD and DMACD shd be the Signal. Replace lines 16 & 17 with these to get the correct names. NOTE that no functionality is affected, just the names. plot(r, style=columns, color=r>0?green:red, transp=80, title="Dinapoli...

This oscillator is derived from Absolute Strength Index, originally developed by Tudor Marcelin (Art Invest). I made it an oscillator mainly to make it easy to identify the divergences and price-flows. There is not much documentation available online for Absolute Strength Index afaik, lets hope Mr.Tudor comes across this and provides us a detailed writeup...

-- Fixed --- Source: pastebin.com Fixes an issue with "Combined" mode, using wrong symbols. --- Original --- The High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent, which is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows. Readings below 50 indicate that there were more new lows than new highs. Readings above 50 indicate that there were more...

The Breadth Thrust (BT) indicator is a market momentum indicator developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. According to Dr. Zweig a Breadth Thrust occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth Thrust indicator rises from below 40 percent to above 61.5 percent. A "Thrust" indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold condition to one of strength,...
