ARKA-Z-ScoreThis Indicator is based on Mr. Dan Valcu ideas.
The author of this article is Veronica Valcu.
The z-score (z) for a data item x measures the distance (in standard deviations StdDev) and direction
of the item from its mean (U):
z = (x-StdDev) / U
A value of zero indicates that the data item x is equal to the mean U, while
positive or negative values show that the data item is above (x>U) or below
(x Values of +2 and -2 show that the data item is two standard deviations
above or below the chosen mean, respectively, and over 95.5% of all data
items are contained within these two horizontal references.
Based on the article and ideas about the z-score concept we can use it to get more confidence where we want to be sure this is an oversold or overbought zone.
The indicator draws two levels on 2 and -2. Z-Score color comes red when it goes above 2, and the color changes to green when it goes below the -2 level. The Z-Score color which value is between 2 & -2 is gray.
Overbought-oversold
Double Basics - Identify Overbought & Oversold - MultitimeframeI believe that everyone should monitor the basic indicators; EMA/SMA cross, BB and RSI on at least TWO timeframes before making any trading decisions. And because that is only possible on paid subscriptions, I created this indicator for people just getting started.
It allows you to plot all of the mentioned AND 2 weeklies of your choice on 1 chart INCLUDING a higher timeframe, using only 1 indicator.
The EMA's are plotted as ORANGE and the SMA's as BLACK, you can distinguish them by the line size, thin is current chart, thick is higher timeframe.
Same for the Bollinger Bands, Upper lines are red (overbought = sell signal) and bottom lines are green (oversold = buy signal)
The RSI, normally plotted in its own window, are plotted on the scale of the BB of the 2nd timeframe, where the bottom line = 0, upper line = 100 and middle (think black) line = 50. The thin purple line is the RSI of the chart resolution, the thicker purple line is the RSI of the 2nd timeframe.
Finally, the two weeklies are plotted as thick black lines.
Enjoy, and let me know your feedback!
Multi-Timeframe RSI GridThe relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. The RSI is normally displayed as an oscillator separately from price and can have a reading from 0 to 100. This indicator displays the current RSI levels at up to 6 timeframes (of your choosing) in a grid. If the RSI levels reach overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) conditions, it changes the color to help you see that RSI has reached extreme levels. Note that in TradingView, when the chart is on a higher timeframe, the lower timeframe RSI levels don't calculate properly. If those conditions are met, this indicator will hide those values in the grid. If none of your selected values are available, it hides the table completely. There are configuration options, like:
Position the grid in any corner of the screen
Style customization (color, size)
Customize RSI length
Overbought & Oversold TrackerAbout this indicator:
- This indicator is basically a stochastic indicator that shows to you the crossover in an Overbought or Oversold area DIRECTLY on the chart
How does it works:
- When Stochastic crosses at Oversold area, a Blue Triangle will appear below the candle with a Blue Dotted Line at the low of the current candle
- The Blue Triangle is to help you to see easily the candle where the crossover is occurring
- At the same time, the Blue Dotted Line will act as a minor Support for the current price
- If the current candle breaks the Blue Dotted Line (minor Support), the candle will be displayed in a red color
- Same things will occur if Stochastic crosses at the Overbought area, but at this time, a Red Triangle with Red Dotted Line will appear just to differentiate between Overbought and Oversold crossover
The advantage of using this indicator:
- You can easily see the point of stochastic crossover DIRECTLY on the chart without analyzing the stochastic indicator
- At the same time, it helps you to see clearly either the price is at the bottom / reversal by combining it with S&R / trendlines or other indicators
Personally, I will combine this indicator with:
a. Support and Resistance or Trendlines
b. Fibonacci retracement
c. Candlestick indicator (see my script list)
d. Ultimate MACD (see my script list)
e. Volume indicator
These combinations personally increase the possibility for me to buy exactly at the point of reversal in a pullback
- This indicator is preset at the value of 25 (oversold) and 75 (overbought) k line, it's my own preference. You can change these values at the setting menu to suit your trading style.
- Once again, I am opening the script for anyone to modify/alter it based on you own preference. Have a good day!
Projection Oscillator [CC]The Projection Oscillator was created by Mel Widner (Stocks and Commodities Jul 1995) and this is another hidden gem that is of course a great complementary indicator to my previous Projection Bands . I would recommend to use both on the same chart so you get the full array of information. This indicator tells you where the current price falls between the bands and the higher the oscillator is, the closer the price is to the upper band and vice versa. Now since the price never falls outside of the bands, the indicator is limited from 0 to 100. You will notice that with this indicator it gives even earlier signals than the Projection Bands so a very useful indicator indeed. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!
Mobility Oscillator [CC]The Mobility Oscillator was created by Mel Widner (Stocks and Commodities Feb 1996) and this is another of my ongoing series of undiscovered gems. I would say this is probably the most complicated script I have written for an indicator. It is extremely complicated to calculate comparing to other indicators but this is essentially an overbought and oversold indicator that uses a very unique technique to calculate overbought and oversold levels and overall upward or downward momentum there is in the underlying stock. It uses a price distribution function to determine how often the current prices fall within the current trend which tells us how strong the momentum for the current trend actually is. I had to customize this indicator a bit to give clear buy and sell readings so I had to introduce a lag in exchange for clearer signals. This indicator ranges between +100 and -100 and when it stays at the +100 level for example then this means a sustained uptrend and vice versa. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

MACD Cross [Momentum & Trend Filter]This is MTF MACD crossover and crossunder, with EMA trend filter and MTF RSI overbought/oversold filter.
Guidelines:
- User can set stop loss, take profit target and risk to reward ratio in setting
- ATR Stop and ATR Multiplier are use to set stop loss and take profit levels, setting are varies depend on what you are trading, play around and find appropriate number
- Don't trade if range between stop loss and target profit are too small or if there are too many small range try to increase multiplier
- If MACD Zero Line Filter enable, detect MACD crossover only under zero line for LONG, and detect MACD crossunder only above zero line for SHORT
- If EMA Trend Filter enable, detect MACD crossover which price above EMA for LONG, and detect MACD crossunder which price below EMA for SHORT
- RSI timeframe 1-3 should not lower than chart timeframe to display Overbought and Oversold correctly
- Enable MTF Overbought and Oversold just to display red background for Overbought, and green background for Oversold
There are 3 alert options:
(For those free user which can get only 1 alert, please choose "MACD crossover & crossunder" if you want to get alert for both long and short directions)
Have fun :)
Relative Strength Exponential Moving Average [CC]The Relative Strength Exponential Moving Average was created by Vitali Apirine (Stocks and Commodities Jan 2022 pgs 22-25) and this is a handy moving average that combines a typical overbought/oversold mechanic with an overall trend indicator. Even though the typical length is so large it reacts extremely quickly when the stock becomes overbought or oversold. Because of this the indicator by itself doesn't work as well during choppy periods so Vitali recommends using a moving average crossover system during choppy so do one indicator with the default length of 50 and use a different length of 10 so when the shorter length crosses over the longer length then buy and vice versa you would sell. Generally speaking buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. I have used strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal signals so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color.

RSI Multi Length [LuxAlgo]The following indicator aims to return information over RSIs using multiple periods, including the percentage of RSIs of different periods being overbought/oversold, as well as the average between these multiple RSIs.
The percentage of RSIs of different periods being overbought/oversold is additionally used to return adaptive overbought/oversold levels.
Settings
Maximum Length: Maximum period of the RSI used for the indicator calculation
Minimum Length: Minimum period value of the RSI used for the indicator calculation
Overbought: Value of the overbought level
Oversold: Value of the oversold level
Src: Input source of the indicator
Usage
The main element of the indicator is given by the multi-length RSI average, returning an oscillator similar to a fixed-length RSI. Because of its multiple length nature, the indicator can reflect shorter to longer-term price variations depending on the Maximum/Minimum length range defined by the user.
The green area indicates the percentage of RSIs over the user-defined overbought level. The red area indicates the percentage of RSIs under the user-defined oversold level, this percentage is inverted for ease of visualization. Additionally, a dashboard at the top right of the indicator pane indicates these percentages for the most recent bar.
A lower percentage of overbought/oversold RSIs can indicate a potential shorter-term retracement.
These percentages are used to construct adaptive overbought/oversold levels for the average multi-length RSI. The overbought level will be easier to reach if the percentage of overbought RSI's is high, the same logic applies to the adaptive oversold level.
Cyclic RSI High Low With Noise Filter█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays Cyclic Relative Strength Index based on Decoding the Hidden Market Rhythm, Part 1 written by Lars von Thienen.
To determine true or false for Overbought / Oversold are unnecessary, therefore these should be either strong or weak.
Noise for weak Overbought / Oversold can be filtered, especially for smaller timeframe.
█ FEATURES
Display calculated Cyclic Relative Strength Index.
Zigzag high low based on Cyclic Relative Strength Index.
Able to filter noise for high low.
█ LEGENDS
◍ Weak Overbought / Oversold
OB ▼ = Strong Overbought
OS ▲ = Strong Oversold
█ USAGE / TIPS
Recommend to be used for Harmonic Patterns such as XABCD and ABCD.
Condition 1 (XABCD) : When ▼ and ▲ exist side by side, usually this outline XA, while the next two ◍ can be BC.
Condition 2 (ABCD) : When ▼ and ▲ exist side by side, usually this outline AB, while the next one ◍ can be BC, strong ABCD.
Condition 3 (ABCD) : When ▼ or ▲ exist at Point A, the next two ◍ can be Point B and Point C, medium ABCD.
Condition 4 (ABCD) : When ◍ exist at Point a, the next two ◍ can be Point b and Point c, weak ABCD usually used as lower case as abcd.

34 EMA Bands [v2]Updating an older concept here with some more oversold/overbought zones.
Pretty self explanatory, red zone indicate overbought zones and green zone is a oversold. Often, price likes to bounce off of the lower bounds of these zones, but it can sometimes extend all the way through the zone onto the upper boundary.
There are many lines to this indicator, i prefer using it with all the lines off except the outermost ones. However, you can edit it if it suits you better.
Source code is open, so any suggestions to improve its accuracy are welcome :)
Ehlers Stochastic Relative Vigor Index [CC]The Stochastic Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pgs 84-89) and this of course is very similar to the Ehlers Fisher Stochastic Relative Vigor Index I just published. In hindsight I probably should have published this one first but just like with the other script this is a stochastic version of a Relative Vigor Index and I added some smoothing to make buy and sell signals clearer. There are several ways to identify buy and sell signals but generally in the long term it is a buy signal when the indicator is below the oversold line and is moving up and in the short term when the indicator is above it's trigger line which is what I coded the buy and sell signals to follow. Buy when the line is green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Fisher Stochastic Relative Vigor Index [CC]The Fisher Stochastic Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pgs 101-104) and this is a many layered indicator created from his original Relative Vigor Index turned into a stochastic and then performing a Fisher transform on the results. I have included extra smoothing to provide clearer buy and sell signals as well as normal and strong buy and sell signals. As always strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

NEXT Stochastic 3xVW (Triple Volume Weighted)Overview:
This responsive version of the Stochastic oscillator modifies and extends the original to incorporate volume. It does so on 2 levels: by using Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) as input and applying a triple volume weighting filter within the internal algorithm, intelligently blending volume with what is otherwise pure momentum/distribution analysis. The result is more binary-like curve behavior (%K and %D oscillator lines), whose polarizing movement acts as both a signal and filter.
Below is a screenshot comparing NEXT Stochastic 3xVW with default settings to the original Stochastic oscillator on NQ M1 chart.
Application and Strategy Ideas:
NEXT Stochastic 3xVW is intended to be used like the original Stochastic oscillator within the context of technical analysis: identifying overvalued (above upper limit) and undervalued (below lower limit) price action, as well as establishing a bias baseline (bullish if over 50; bearish if under 50). Higher NEXT Stochastic 3xVW bottoms compared to lower price bottoms signify bullish divergence; lower NEXT Stochastic 3xVW tops compared to higher price tops signify bearish divergence. Trading %K/%D line crossing is also a popular strategy, with %K crossing over %D indicating bullish sentiment and %K crossing under %D indicating bearish sentiment.
Below is a screenshot showing NEXT Stochastic 3xVW overbought/oversold intraday strategy on SPY M1 chart. NEXT Stochastic 3xVW is set to 5,10,1,3 with long signal issued at lower limit of 30 and short at upper limit of 70.
Input Parameters:
VWMA Length - controls the averaging length of the volume-weighted moving average (based on close price and volume); used as Stochastic input
%K Length - volume-driven averaging length of the %K oscillator line - this is the faster of the two Stochastic lines
%K Smoothing - volume-driven smoothing factor of the %K line
%D Smoothing - volume-driven averaging length of the %D oscillator line (a %K derivative, post smoothing) - this is the slower of the two Stochastic lines
Upper Limit - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level above which market is considered overbought, default is 80
Base Bias - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level above which market bias is considered bullish, and below bearish
Lower Limit - the NEXT Stochastic 3xVW level below which market is considered oversold, default is 20
Signals and Alerts:
Discover and visualize NEXT Stochastic 3xVW strategies using the companion NEXT Strategy Visualizer indicator. While the %K/%D cross alerts can be set via NEXT Stochastic 3xVW indicator, the Strategy Visualizer will only plot long/short signals when %K or %D cross over or under overbought/oversold levels (as hown in the above SPY M1 screenshot). That being said, the next version of the Strategy Visualizer will also support %K/%D crosses.
Here is how to set NEXT Stochastic 3xVW %K/%D crossing alerts: open a chart, attach NEXT Stochastic 3xVW, and right-click on chart -> Add Alert. Condition: Next Stochastic >> %K >> Crossing >> Next Stochastic >> %D
RSI Trend LineI took a concept similar to the "Adaptive RSI" to get the RSI overlaid on a price chart. The problem I have with the Adaptive RSI is to me it sticks too closely to price. I wanted something much more visually helpful that can provide actual tradable signals and strategies.
The orange line you are seeing is the "RSI Trend Line"
The further the RSI moves away from a value of 50 (the "zero line"), the more you see this orange line move away from price. This helps visualize the strength of price pushing away from a neutral value to a position of strength or weakness-- if orange is below price then relative strength is high; if orange is above price then relative strength is low. When price is equal to the orange RSI line, the RSI is at a value of 50.
In addition to the trend line, you can enable bands which reflect Overbought and Oversold levels . If you leave the responsiveness to a value of 1.0 and removed any smoothing, these should pretty accurately reflect an actual RSI chart topping the OB and OS lines (default 70 and 30, respectively). (They're still very close with different responsiveness and smoothing values)
The conversion or scaling of RSI value onto price comes with a bit of a quirk which I decided to leave to the user to determine how they want it applied. So the setting "Responsiveness" will impact the sort of aggressiveness of the RSI trend line as well as the the size of the bands. You could think of this in some ways as the OPPOSITE of the multiple setting on a Bollinger or Keltner band-- 1.0 will make for the widest band, 2.0 is the default and my preference, and you can move it up to a value of 5.0.
Here are some examples of how you could use the indicator for trade signals--
And here's my thought on the current state (as of 10/06) on indices with regards to this indicator-
McClellan Oscillator Jack Corsellis [LazyBear Modified]Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues.
Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator.
As the formula reveals, the McClellan Oscillator is a momentum indicator that works similar to MACD .
McClellan Oscillator signals can be generated with breadth thrusts, centerline crossovers, overall levels and divergences.
The original code was written by LazyBear ( code here: )
We have modified this code:
1. Added the ability to display and configure the overbought and undersold lines which are key to properly using this indicator. These are set to default +40 and -75 respectively.
2. This version uses USI:ADV(advances- issues) and USI:DECL (declines - issues) as the default.
Multiband Oscillator - Zigzag versionJust variation of Multi Band oscillator present here: Multi-Band-Channel-Oversold-Overbought-Oscillator
Changes are:
Instead of regular moving average, here I am using Zigzag Moving average. This is calculated in similar to as explained in: Zigzag-Cloud
Instead of ATR, using AZR (Average Zigzag Range) - Average-Zigzag-Range-AZR
Rest of the logic remains same.
Number of bands used 100 - which means, calculate 100 Bollinger bands with Std Dev Multiplier starting from 0.1 and with step 0.1 for the next one.
Which divides price ranges into 200 equal parts. Calculate what is the current range and plot them.
Overbought - Oversold levels are dynamics. They are dependent on the max and min state price has reached in last 80 days. Offset and factor can be used to adjust overbought oversold levels.
Relative Strength Index 2x maThe relative strength index, represented as two moving averages with periods, one of which will be a multiple of the longer moving average by the amount you set.
The indicator can work both in automatic and manual mode. In automatic mode, the optimal periods are selected, in my opinion, depending on which timeframe is being analyzed at the current moment. In manual mode, you can set the required period yourself.
You can also set the method of smoothing the moving averages yourself and apply them to the opening or closing, the minimum of the bar, etc.
An important point: it is possible to enable/disable graphical functions that may not be required - just check the box next to the function that you want to see on your indicator.
Show ConDiv? - enabling / disabling the convergence/divergence function of the moving averages of the RSI indicator (not to be confused with the MACD for the asset price chart)
Show ma? - enabling/disabling the graphical display of the moving averages of the RSI indicator
Show RSI? - enabling / disabling the standard RSI indicator (if you want to see only it, check the box opposite; in this case, you need to remove the other two checkboxes)
I wish you good luck in building your trading plans, and remember: such indicators do not predict the future price movement on the chart, they only determine the characteristics of the price movement at the current time, taking into account historical data.
EMA Price DistanceEMA Price Distance, EMAPD for short, is a trend following indicator that can help you predict how price is going to move, in respect to your EMA. It can give overbought and oversold signals, as well as ranging market and retracement signals. The indicator consists of three parts, the Difference Line, the Average Line, and the Histograms.
- The blue line is the Difference Line. It is calculated from difference between the close price and the EMA. An increasing Difference Line indicates price moving further away from the EMA.
- The purple line is the Average Line. It is calculated based on the average of the difference Line for a certain lookback period.
- The Histograms are the difference between the Difference Line and the Average Line
Some basic signals:
- The easiest signal to spot is when the Difference Line is further away from the Average Line than normal. This usually signifies a retracement in the near future.
- Another signal is when the histograms are making smaller peaks or troughs, approaching 0. Signifies that price is retracing towards EMA. This can also be seen when the Difference Line is below the Average Line
How to Use:
The first use case is to detect when the market is ranging. This can be seen when both lines near 0 like so:
Another use case, is to use the indicator to signify how strong the current trend is / how likely it is to continue. This is signified by the Difference Line and Average line making higher highs
We can see that as the trend continues, both lines increase in harmony.
EMAPD can also be used to give easy to see signs of retracement or reversal.
Here we can see that the Difference line made a lower high as well as crossed below the Average Line. Whether this is a retracement or reversal usually depends on how the long the trend has occurred. The longer, the more likely of a trend reversal
One of the best use cases is to keep you out of bad trades. This usually happens right before a trend starts, when the market is choppier. This is when you usually get a lot of fake outs and false signals.
Here are 2 examples of where someone trading Supply and Demand would've been kept out of a losing trade.
In the first purple oval, a supply zone is formed. As price re enters the zone, it would be tempting to go long but the EMAPD is creating lower lowers on the histograms, signifying that price is moving closer to its average instead of expanding. We also get the Difference Line to cross under the average line, signifying price is moving closer to the EMA than it has been recently. These signals tell us that price has a good chance to "re group" with the EMA, which it ends up doing.
This also kept us out of the second trade, signified by the second purple oval. Here, we can see the difference line creating lower lows, signaling that price is moving closer to the EMA.
RSI+ChannelbandsThis Indicator displays a normal RSI with overbought/-sold lines which is calculated with donchian channels, pivot channel, bollinger bands and three horizontal lines.
You can averaged the channels, bands and h-lines in any combination or you can use just one of them for calculating the overbought/-sold lines.
The midline is colored in default settings in yellow for upptrending and blue for downtrending.
Folded Relative Strength Index [CC]The Folded Relative Strength Index was created by Richard Poster (Stocks and Commodities July 2021 pg 21) and this indicator provides both trend strength but also momentum and of course reversal points using the overbought and oversold markers. If the indicator line is above the mid line then this shows upward momentum and when it falls below the midline then this means it is losing momentum. When the indicator rises above the signal line then this shows upward trend strength and vice versa. Buy when the indicator line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Market phases 2.0The Market Phase 2.0 indicator is designed to display the following features:
1) The TREND OSCILLATOR : This trend oscillator indicates the trend of the stock/instrument. It is calculated on the basis of number of positive candles or negative candles formed during a specific period.
The oscillator oscillates around the zero horizontal line. The trend is considered bullish if the oscillator value is positive and the trend is considered negative if the oscillator value is negative.
2) The MOMENTUM OSCILLATOR:
The momentum oscillator indicates the short term momentum of the stock/instrument. It is calculated on the rate of change of close price for a specific period in the past.
The Momentum oscillator oscillates around the zero horizontal line. If the momentum oscillator has a positive value, the momentum is considered to be on the bullish side and similarly if the momentum oscillator has a negative value, the momentum is considered to be on the bearish side.
3) The SIGNAL LINE: The signal line is represented by the yellow color line. The Signal line combines the value of the Trend oscillator and the Momentum oscillator. The signal also moves around the zero line. There are two dotted lines above and below the zero line.
When the signal line crosses the upper dotted line, it indicates that the stock/instrument has moved on the upper side too quickly or sharply and the ongoing move may not continue for long. It may also be considered as overbought at that point. A red triangle appears at that point.
Similarly, when the signal line crosses the lower dotted line, it indicates that the stock/instrument has moved on the downside too quickly or sharply and the ongoing down move may not continue for long. It may also be considered as oversold at that point. A green triangle appears at that point.
The values for the look back period of the signal line and the values for the upper range and lower range of the indicator can be changed by going to the settings of the indicator.
***Disclaimer: The market movement depends upon a lot of factors which are beyond the scope of this indicator. Hence the indicator may display results not intended on rare occasions.
Trading in the markets involves involves huge risks and one should always follow his/her own research before taking any trading decisions.
SuperTrend Oscillator [LuxAlgo]This oscillator is made of three components, all derived from the SuperTrend indicator. This approach allows the user to easily determine overbought/sold zones, identify whether a retracement is present or if the price is ranging or trending. It also allows for the anticipation of the potential price cross with the SuperTrend.
We provide additional information including whether a signal returned by the SuperTrend was false, as well as the percentage of false signals.
Settings
Length: Period of the "average true range" used in the calculation of the SuperTrend
Mult: Multiplicative factor for the "average true range"
Smooth: Determines the degree of smoothing of the histogram
Misc:
Fixed Transparency: Use a fixed transparency for the main oscillator
Show Lines: Show the lines displayed by the indicator
Show Labels: Show the labels displayed by the indicator
Usage
The indicator is in a range of (-100,100) with values closer to 100/-100 indicating a stronger trend. The main oscillator value above 0 indicates that the price is above the SuperTrend.
It is possible to identify when a retracement is present in a trend. This is often indicated by an oscillator value moving within 50/-50.
Each overbought/oversold level can be used to determine potential exit points.
The indicator also includes two additional oscillators derived from the main oscillator. A smoothed version of the main oscillator (Signal), and a smoothed version of the difference between the Main and Signal oscillators (Histogram), thus making the oscillator part of the indicator more similar to MACD.
One can use the histogram to anticipate when the price might cross the SuperTrend by comparing the sign between the main and histogram. Potential false signals can also be filtered with this method.
Certain crosses between the price and SuperTrend can be filtered out when the histogram and main oscillator have a different sign (here main = 1, histogram = -1).
We include various indications in order to analyze the signals returned by the SuperTrend. The indicator displays symbols indicating whether a signal was false or not.
A cross symbol will be displayed at the top of the displayed lines when the previous Buy signal was false, else a checkmark is displayed. Symbols displayed at the bottom of the lines are referring to sell signals. We also provide a percentage of false signals, calculated over the entire chart history.
Details
The scaling method used is similar to max-min normalization. We first compute the difference between the price and SuperTrend and divide the result by the difference between the upper and lower extremity used to compute the SuperTrend. Values higher than (1,-1) can occur when price crosses the SuperTrend and as such we use the max and min functions to attenuate these.
The filter used to compute the signal line is based on exponential averaging and is fully adaptive. The smoothing factor used for its computation is the squared value of the main oscillator, divided by length . Since higher values of the oscillator are associated with trending markets, the filter will be closer to the main oscillator when the market is ranging.
