Oscillator Cross (OSCx)

The Oscillator Cross (OSCx) is the display of Oscillator 1 and Oscillator 2 with a moving average of Oscillator 1.

Oscillators 1 (OSCx1) and 2 (OSCx2) are calculated as follows:

Oscillator 1 = Moving Average 1 (MA1) - Moving Average 2 (MA2)

Oscillator 2 = Moving Average 3 (MA3) - Moving Average 4 (MA4)

A Moving Average of Oscillator 1 (MA5) is also displayed.

Oscillator Cross Parameters

Parameter

Description

Display

Opens sub-window to set parameters

      Color = Line color.

      Weight = Line thickness.

      MarkIt = Opens Specify Conditions window.

      Display = Line style: line or histogram.

      ShareScale = Determines whether sharing of the vertical scales between studies is accepted. Auto = System determine whether sharing is feasible. On = Scale is shared regardless of the functions and studies displayed. Off = Scale is not shared. ShareScale must be On if study is overlaid on a study with multiple outputs.

Offset

Distance in bars between the current bar and the bar to use in the calculation. A positive offset uses future bars. A negative offset uses past bars. For example:

1 = next bar

-2 = two bars back from current bar

Type

Moving average calculation. Values:

      Simple

      Smoothed

      Exponential

      Weighted

      Centered

      Median

      Trix

      Exponential Hull

Period

Number of bars in the lookback range.

Price

Price used to calculate study values.

OB/OS

Opens sub-window with overbought and oversold parameters:

      Color = Select a color for the line.

      Weight = Choose a thickness for the indicator.

      Type = Choose fixed or dynamic.

Fixed = uses Level as a fixed OB/OS value.

Dynamic = uses Standard Deviation and Lookback for a dynamic OB/OS value:.

OB: MA(@,Sim,lookback) + factor * STDDEV(@,lookback)

OS: MA(@,Sim,lookback) - factor * STDDEV(@,lookback)

where @ is the study

      Std Dev = Multiplier used to calculate high and low.

      Lookback = Number of bars to compare to the current bar.

      Level = Percentage of average OB/OS used to calculate predictor Ob/OS levels.

      Style = Choose a line style.
