Awesome Oscillator (AO) (Last upd: Apr, 13 2010)

Postby admin » Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:56 pm

DESCRIPTION:

Awesome Oscillator (AO) is the difference between the 34 period and 5 period simple moving averages of the candle’s/ bar’s middle points. Basically: (High+Low) / 2.

AO Indicator calculates and determines market momentum at a given time when comparing the last five bars to last thirty four bars.

Awesome Oscillator (AO) is displayed on the chart as a histogram. Awesome Oscillator can present us with three buy signals and also three sell signals, but its not recommended to use them until the first fractal buy or sell signal is triggered outside the Alligator's mouth.

CALCULATION:

MEDIAN = (HIGH+LOW)/2
AO = MVA(MEDIAN, 5) - MVA(MEDIAN, 34)

In the new version of the indicator:
1) By default the covering line is not shown. An additional parameter is added to show the covering line (It may be useful for applying indicator on the AO results or for using the indicators
in another indicator).

2) In case the bar has the same size as the previous bar, the bar will have the same color (in the previous version the equal bar was always green).

Can this be made into a signal? Personally, I'm interested in zero-line crossing, but any other parameters are welcome.

Thanks!

I, too, would be very interested in either this indicator or the Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO) as a signal, with the zero line cross (i.e., red to green or vice versa).

heat map doesn't work correctly in all indicators because it doesn't update each tick, only at the beginning of the candle, so if during this candle price dramatically, heat map stays the same. Even bigger problem is for higher time frames because output has to be updated for the highest time frame number of periods on your chart. I pointed out this problem before but so far it wasn't resolved.

Is it possible to have the "custom signals" automatically generate and execute buy/sell orders? Or, like in the case of the AO signal, a signal is just to show on the chart how the strategy would have worked?

in order it could work with the new version of platform.
