Rainbow Oscillator
Type
Oscillator
Short introduction
Oscillator variant of the Rainbowindicator by Mel Widner.
Formula/calculation
The following applies:
RANGE A = MAX(AVE1, AVE2, ..., AVE10) - MIN(AVE1, AVE2, ..., AVE10)
RANGE C = MAX(Cj) - MIN(Cj) for j = m to m-10
where:
RANGE A = Range of averages
RANGE C = Range of close prices in the averaging period
then the rainbow bandwidth (RB) is calculated as a percentage as
RB = 100 * (RANGE A) / (RANGE B)
the Rainbow Oscillator (RO) fluctuates between -100 % and + 100 % and is calculated as follows:
AVEA = AVERAGE(AVE1, AVE2, ...,AVE10)
RO = 100 * (C - AVEA)/(RANGE C)
