even_better_sinewave_mod

Updated

Description:
Even better sinewave was an indicator developed by John F. Ehlers (see Cycle Analytics for Trader, pg. 159), in which improvement to cycle measurements completely relies on strong normalization of the waveform. The indicator aims to create an artificially predictive indicator by transferring the cyclic data swings into a sine wave. In this indicator, the modified is on the weighted moving average as a smoothing function, instead of using the super smoother, aim to be more adaptive, and the default length is set to 55 bars.


Sinewave
smoothing = (7*hp + 6*hp_1 + 5*hp_2+ 4*hp_3 + 3*hp_4 + 2*hp5 + hp_6) /28
normalize = wave/sqrt(power)


Notes:
  • sinewave indicator crossing over -0.9 is considered to beginning of the cycle while crossing under 0.9 is considered as an end of the cycle
  • line color turns to green considered as a confirmation of an uptrend, while turns red as a confirmation of a downtrend
  • confidence of using indicator will be much in confirmation paired with another indicator such dynamic trendline e.g. moving average
  • as cited within Ehlers book Cycle Analytic for Traders, the indicator will be useful if the satisfied market cycle mode and the period of the dominant cycle must be estimated with reasonable accuracy
