Unicorn MultiOs
MultiOs is an oscillator that combines several widely used oscillators into one. In order to combine different oscillators, it is necessary to reduce them to a single scale. To do this we have developed a custom method based on z-scoring and adjusting by volatility .
The user can choose which of the oscillators from the list to combine into one. The combinations are countless. Some of the combinations may be a better fit for certain markets or trading styles. We call this new class of indicators obtained by combining several oscillators into one - "super oscillators". MultiOs provides a wide scopе for experimentation in creating different super oscillators. A good way to start is to combine all the oscillators from the list into one.
As our practice shows, combining several oscillators into one provides a number of advantages:
In the Candle Mode the MultiOs oscillator is plotted as a candlestick chart. You can apply all sorts of technical analysis to the oscillator candlestick chart, including candlestick patterns analysis. Reversal candlestick patterns in the overbought and oversold zones can give you leading price reversal signals.
We have also included an option to apply the regular smoothing to the MultiOs oscillator. The smoothing feature applies a simple moving average to the oscillator. The Smoothing parameter sets the period of the smoothing moving average.
This feature helps to reduce the number of false trend change signals. But don't forget that smoothing increases the indicator lag. So if you use smoothing, prefer smaller Smoothing parameter values (less than 10). And try to find the optimal tradeoff.
HOW TO USE
Choose which oscillators you would like to include into the mixture, and use the resulting super oscillator as your normal oscillator: forecast price reversals with overbought/oversold conditions and divergences, enter trends with zero line cross signals, detect narrow sideways markets when the oscillator fluctuates in the «gray zone» not going overbought or oversold.
When using this script, please, keep in mind that past results do not necessarily reflect future results and that many factors influence trading results.
SETTINGS
The indicator settings panel allows you to set the parameters that control the calculation and visualization of the indicator. You can also more deeply customize the display of the indicator on the Style tab of the indicator settings panel. This can be useful, for example, to change the colors or make some of the lines brighter.
GLOBAL MODE
Candle Mode - turns on/off the Candle Mode in which the MultiOs oscillator is plotted as a candlestick chart.
MAIN
Oscillator period - sets the oscillator period, which determines the size of the main rolling window, on which all calculations are made.
Smoothing - sets the oscillator smoothing intensity. The value 1 corresponds to the absence of smoothing.
Use Momentum, Use RSI , Use Stochastic , etc. - include/exclude the corresponding oscillator in/from the MultiOs calculation.
DISPLAY
Show MultiOS, Show Momentum, Show RSI , etc. - enable/disable the display of the corresponding oscillator.
Show Zero Line - enables/disables the display of the zero level.

As our practice shows, combining several oscillators into one provides a number of advantages:
- The compound super oscillator is smoother than any of its components, but its lag does not increase. This is due to the fact that the calculation does not require additional rolling window averaging. The averaging is performed over an ensemble of several non-smoothed oscillators. The signals are easier to read due to this alternative smoothing mechanism.
- The signals are more meaningful and confirmed because they contain contributions from several oscillators and represent their consensus.

Release Notes:
Version 2.2
- Added Trend Signals function.
- Added Dynamic Zero Level function.
- Moved the Global Mode settings group to the bottom of the indicator settings menu.
Release Notes:
Version 2.3
When the Dynamic Zero Level is enabled, the indicator tends to exit long lasting trends earlier. This can help to lock in more profits and enter a new trend earlier if price changes its direction without a period of sideways market between trends, such as in a "buy the rumor - sell the facts" situation.
With the inverted Dynamic Zero Level, the indicator tends to exit long lasting trends later. This helps you stay in position and withstand volatile price swings and can be useful in a volatile and uncertain market.
- Added the option to invert the Dynamic Zero Level.

Release Notes:
Version 2.3.2
The oscillator smoothing method has been updated. Now smoothing is performed using linear regression, which introduces less lag. The recommended values of the "Smoothing" parameter now range from 10 to 50. The minimum value for "Smoothing" is 2. It corresponds to the absence of smoothing.

Release Notes:
Version 2.4 introduces new Presets feature. It allows you to select different predefined settings for the MultiOs oscillator. It is controlled by the Presets menu, which is located in the Global Mode section. You can select one of the following presets: "Fast and Sensitive", "Momentum 2.0", "Swing", "Trend". If you select one of the presets, the possibility of changing settings of the indicator becomes limited. To use the indicator without presets and to be able to fully customize it, select "No Preset" in the Presets menu. The default preset is "Fast and Sensitive".
