    Value1 = ( (MEDIANPRICE – MinL)/(MaxH – MinL) – .5) + .67 * Value1
    Please explain the meaning of this line formula. Why is it different from the original? The original formula is to format the oscillation + – 1 and filter it with equation
    EMA = alpha * close + (1 – alpha) * EMA[1];

    Question for Nicolas or others. Should the Fisher Transformer price / bar be based on MEDIANPRICE as above, or Typically Price?

    Thanks for your help, Stuart

    • Nicolas • 10/12/2015 #

      Use the data serie you want. Replace MEDIANPRICE by TYPICALPRICE in the above code.

  3. SB-FO • 10/12/2015 #

    Thanks Nicolas. While I understand I can use either Median or Typical (Price), the question was which is correct or perhaps better to use?

    • Nicolas • 10/12/2015 #

      I don’t know. MedianPrice (exact mid price of the candlestick) tends to be smoother than TypicalPrice.

    Good to know and thank you.

    Oh, on this indicator, how do I change the range from 5/-5 to 1/-1?

  5. SB-FO • 10/12/2015 #

    Nicolas, on the Trigger formula, Trigger=fish[1] , is that mean it is using linear / moving linear regression of 1 of Fish, or something else? I don’t understand what the [1] mean /do.

    Fish = 0.5*Log((1 + Value1)/(1 – Value1)) + .5 * Fish

    Thank you for the help understanding this.
    Trigger=fish[1]

    • Nicolas • 10/12/2015 #

      Trigger is just the value of fish of the previous bar, the blue line.

  6. SB-FO • 10/12/2015 #

    Ah ha. So FISH – 1 so to speak. I would have thought that would have been coded as [-1].

    I have played with a SMA of 4 for the trigger on D charts and it seems nicely profitable. When I back-test standard it losses money. Hence why i was trying to figure it out. I need to back-test 4H time frames.

    Thank you for your help.

    Nicolas, sorry to bother you again. In trying to turn this indicator into a strategy in PRT I am doing something wrong. I had assumed Len is Length of Fish. When i back best in PRT, it does not make a trade, or no second trade. Can you PLEASE advise? I have copies the code below.

    DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = True // Cumulating positions activated
    capital = 100000 + strategyprofit
    Equity = capital / close
    myCurrentProfit = STRATEGYPROFIT

    Len = 9

    IF BARINDEX .99 then
    Value1 = .999
    ENDIF

    If Value1 < -.99 then
    Value1 = -.999
    ENDIF

    Fish = 0.5*Log((1 + Value1)/(1 – Value1)) + .5 * Fish
    Trigger = Average[4](close)

  8. SB-FO • 10/12/2015 #

    Found my mistake, should have been Trigger = Average[4](Fish)

  9. Derek • 10/12/2015 #

    In line 10 there is a value missing for the calculation. You can cross check it here on page 4: https://www.mesasoftware.com/papers/UsingTheFisherTransform.pdf
    Line 10 should be:
    Value1 = (.66* ((MEDIANPRICE – MinL)/(MaxH – MinL) – .5)) + .67 * Value1

  10. Coldtrade • 10/12/2015 #

    Hello. I’m new to programming and don’t understand the algebraic meaning of the formula:
    Value1 = (.66 * ((MEDIANPRICE – MinL) / (MaxH – MinL) – .5)) + .67 * Value1
    Isn’t that like saying A = B + n * A?
    Something substantial escapes me, thanks to those who want to help me.

  11. Derek • 10/12/2015 #

    You are right, There is something odd with this line of code. It should be
    A = B + n * A[1].
    So, there are two things missing in line 10.
    Ps. Sorry for the late reply
