The Hilbert Transform was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 18:3 (16-27)) and this indicator can work pretty well as a trend confirmation. This essentially transforms the underlying price data into a soundwave and when you compare the two (blue is positive and red is negative) then it provides fairly clear buy and sell signals. Ehlers did warn in...
The Squelch Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 18:9 (42-46)) and this indicator is a variation of his Market Mode Indicator and its purpose is the same as in it determines if the market is trending or in a choppy market. If this indicator is at the 1 level then this means the market is trending and if it is at 0 then the market is...
The Simple Window Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Sep 2021) and this is the last of the 4 new indicators that he published in the latest issue of Stocks & Commodities. Since these are all part of a series, the idea behind each indicator is the exact same. The only difference is of course the calculation for each indicator. This script...
The Triangle Window Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Sep 2021) and this is one of 4 new indicators that he published in the latest issue of Stocks & Commodities and I will be publishing the last one tomorrow. Since these are all part of a series, the idea behind each indicator is the exact same. The only difference is of course the...
The Hamming Window Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Sep 2021) and this is one of 4 new indicators that he published in the latest issue of Stocks & Commodities and I will be publishing the other 2 in the next few days. Since these are all part of a series, the idea behind each indicator is the exact same. The only difference is of...
The Hann Window Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities Sep 2021) and this is one of 4 new indicators that he published in the latest issue of Stocks & Commodities and I will be publishing the other 3 in the next few days. Since these are all part of a series, the idea behind each indicator is the exact same. The only difference is of course the...
From Ehlers' Windowing article: "A still-smoother weighting function that is easy to program is called the Hann window. The Hann window is often described as a “sine squared” distribution, although it is easier to program as a cosine subtracted from unity. The shape of the coefficient outline looks like a sinewave whose valleys are at the ends of the array and...
The Convolution Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics For Traders pgs 170-174) and this is version of an indicator to find potential reversal points. The idea behind this indicator is to use a variation of his AutoCorrelation Indicator that transforms the data using digital signal processing and as you can see it looks very similar to his ...
The Optimum Predictor was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 209-210) and this indicator does a pretty good job of predicting major market moves. When the blue line crosses over the red line then this indicator is predicting an upcoming uptrend and when the blue line crosses under the red line then it is predicting an upcoming downtrend. Ehlers...
The Market Mode Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 114-117) and this is a handy tool that will tell you if the market is currently in a cycle or a trend. When the current market is in a cycle or choppy state then the indicator will read 0 and when it is in a trend then it will read 1. He uses some advanced digital signal...
This is a strategy based on the TEMA and Ehler's MAMA moving averages. Crosses of the fast and slow TEMA are commonly used for entry and exit strategies. The Ehler's Mesa Adaptive Moving Average is a trend-following price indicator that uses a Hilbert Transform. Having plotted both TEMA and eMAMA side-by-side for some time, I noticed a pattern where the...
The Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pg 58) and this is a momentum indicator that is similar to the Accumulation Distribution Oscillator created by Jim Waters and Larry Williams. He uses digital signal processing to smooth the indicator to provide clear buy and sell signals. The idea behind this indicator...
The Adaptive Bandpass Filter was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics For Traders pgs 153-156) and this uses his autocorrelation code to provide the adaptive lengths to use for the underlying bandpass filter. The bandpass filter is a common way in digital signal processing to filter out the underlying noise in the data. It can actually be turned into a leading...
The Adaptive Stochastic Indicator V1 was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 233-234) and this indicator uses the same calculations to find a cycle period that is then used for both the creation of the stochastic indicator but also for the smoothing to create a double smoothed stochastic indicator. Because it is calculated this way, this...
John Ehler's MESA Stochastic uses super smoothing to give solid signals. This indicator uses the same rules as every other Stochastic indicator so it would be worth looking into if you are not already familiar with reading a Stochastic. There are 4 different lengths displayed to give traders an edge on reading the market. This is a great tool to analyze waves and...
The Modified Relative Strength Index was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics For Traders pgs 87-88) and this is a typical RSI that uses his roofing filter as the input. He smooths it with his own super smoother filter to provide signals. This indicator is extremely reactive and works in cycles so keep that in mind. I haven't been able to come up with clear buy...
The AutoCorrelation Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics pgs 94-98) and this can be viewed as both a momentum indicator and a trend indicator. This was his basis for several other indicators that he created which I will be publishing soon but essentially as this indicator goes up then the stock is in an uptrend and also has upward momentum. You...
The Adaptive Relative Strength Index was created by John Ehlers and this is his first version. I will of course publish his updated version at a later date along with publishing the final script from Jim Sloman's Ocean Theory book. I have changed his script to include extra smoothing to provide clear buy and sell signals. This is a version of a RSI that is very...
