M – Oscillator
An improvement of the Momentum Oscillator – Published on IFTA Journal 2018 by Mohamed Fawzy (pages 28-53)
a value > 10 is considered OverBought
a value < -10 is considered OverSold
In sharp upward moves the M-Oscillator ranges from 5 to 14
In sharp downward moves the M-Oscillator ranges from -5 to -14
In an UpTrend value ranges from 0 through 14
In a DownTrend value ranges from 0 through -14
Usually a SHORT signal is generated when, after entering the OB area, the M-Oscillator re-crosses it downwards
Usually a LONG signal is generated when, after entering the OS area, the M-Oscillator re-crosses it upwards
(such indications are valid in sideways markets, because in trending markets, values may remain in the OS/OS area
for quite a long time)
ADX can be used in conjunction to detect a range when its value is < 25
Divergences, like for other oscillators, can be taken advantage of.
