Any indicator based on moving averages (MAs) lags real-time movement. Immediately after large ("step") changes in level, the pre-step values that are still within the MA window cause the result to falsely reflect continued movement, even if real-time values remain flat or move in the opposite direction.
To counter this, when a step change of a configurable size...
Here is the well-known Awesome Oscillator (AO), which I use to present the real purpose of this post: a function that provides step correction for simple moving averages (SMAs).
We all know that any indicator based on moving averages lags real-time movement. Normally this is fine, but just after large ("step") changes in level, the pre-step values that are...
This is a quick script that combines two standard indicators, the Awesome Oscillator and MACD histogram, to highlight the beginnings of periods of fast price movement (divergence between the two). Since MACD's EMA responds more quickly than AO's SMA, look for periods of green over gold as a bullish signal, and red under blue as a bearish signal.
Of course both...
The colored Zones is the combination of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerator Oscillator (AC) indicator by Bill Williams.
If both AO and AC bars are uptrending, the zone is blue
If both AO and AC bars are downtrending, the zone is red
If AO and AC have different colors, the zone is gray
Blue and red zones
This zones allows you to trade more...
Williams Trader Beta (not for public use)
Essentially what I wanted to do was create a script that could recognize setups from one of the systems laid out by Dr. Bill Williams
I put blue label ups at bottom and below bar for long entry
I put fuchsia label downs at bottom and below bar for short entry
These are times when:
AO > 0 & a Break Out Occurs of...
The Accelerator Oscillator has been developed by Bill Williams
as the development of the Awesome Oscillator. It represents the
difference between the Awesome Oscillator and the 5-period moving
average, and as such it shows the speed of change of the Awesome
Oscillator, which can be useful to find trend reversals before the
Awesome Oscillator does.
This indicator is an implementation of the Bollinger Band and Awesome Oscillator Scalping system.
This technique is for those who want the most simple method that is very effective. It is BEST traded during the busiest trading hours, 3am to 12am EST NY time. This method doesn't work in sideways markets, only in volatile trending markets.
Time Frames: 1, 5, 10,...
This indicator is based on Bill Williams` recommendations from his book

The wisdom, technical expertise, and skillful teaching style of Williams make
it a truly revolutionary-level source. A must-have new book for stock and
commodity traders.

This indicator plots the oscillator as a histogram where blue denotes
periods suited for buying and red . for selling. If the current value
of AO (Awesome Oscillator) is above previous, the period is considered
suited for buying and the period is marked blue. If the AO value is not
above previous, the period is considered suited for selling...

The Awesome Oscillator is a simple average of the HL2 mean done at length 5 and 34 and taking the difference of the two. The Elliot Wave Oscillator is similar to this as well. What I have done is make my own version AO-II for my tastes. I use DTI a bunch and when range contracts and trends aren't solid, a more responsive indicator is needed, and that is where...
