Rainbow Oscillator

Rainbow Oscillator

The Rainbow Oscillator indicator was created by Mel widner in 1997, published in the magazine Stocks and Commodities.

This indicator is the adaptation of a code of the Tradingview platform:

Ever since the people concluded that stock market price movements are not random or chaotic, but follow specific trends that can be forecasted, they tried to develop different tools or procedures that could help them identify those trends. And one of those financial indicators is the Rainbow Oscillator Indicator. The Rainbow Oscillator Indicator is relatively new, originally introduced in 1997, and it is used to forecast the changes of trend direction.

As market prices go up and down, the oscillator appears as a direction of the trend, but also as the safety of the market and the depth of that trend. As the rainbow grows in width, the current trend gives signs of continuity, and if the value of the oscillator goes beyond 80, the market becomes more and more unstable, being prone to a sudden reversal. When prices move towards the rainbow and the oscillator becomes more and more flat, the market tends to remain more stable and the bandwidth decreases. Still, if the oscillator value goes below 20, the market is again, prone to sudden reversals. The safest bandwidth value where the market is stable is between 20 and 80, in the Rainbow Oscillator indicator value.
The depth a certain price has on a chart and into the rainbow can be used to judge
the strength of the move.

It is a trend indicator.

It consists of some lines that form bands (RB) and histograms (RO)

  • If RO is positive and the amplitude of RB when the movement starts is not very large (it is between 30% and 60%), we will say that the market is bullish .
  • If RO is negative and the amplitude of RB when the movement starts is not very big (it is between 30% and 60%), we will say that the market is bearish.
