Cuban's LTF Trend Oscillator
Most financial markets tend to trade within a reasonable range between 60-75% of the time (don't ask for a reference because I couldn't find it), so swing trading with a trend isn't always viable -- so how do we take money out of the market?
If you're familiar with scalping low time frames for 20 or 30 ticks, you'll know how difficult it is to time your entry and exit during low volatility environments.
The following oscillator has been solely built to assist the manual discretionary trader in their LTF scalps.
The oscillator uses a combination of different price to VWAP relationship, divergence, and momentum logic to define preferable entries.
This script attempts to identify three different entries characteristics on low timeframes:
1. Counter-trend reversals
2. On-trend pullbacks
3. and, short term directional pivots
The oscillator has red, green, and white triangles above the centre fill. These triangles relate to the low time frame RSI divergence and pivots.
In combination with these divergences and pivots, I've added a measure of conviction, identified by the light red, dark red, light green, and dark green rectangles on the outer-most edges of the oscillator.
The dark red and dark green flavours are the highest conviction trades. When you marry these sentiment identifiers with divergences, you have a very high conviction trade.
The fill in the middle of the oscillator is the current trend sentiment. Dark red and dark green is favourable to the respective trend, with the light red and light green being areas where I recommend taking profit or considering an exit.
The green and red coloured moving average in the centre is the slower trend. I have included this to give some context to preferable position adds and closes. Trading with the trend is always advisable. When you have an obvious trend, this oscillator can give you excellent entries to play that continuation.
Warm regards,
