EP Change Index

EP Change Index is an oscillator-type indicator, which provides a simplified view of the price, clearly showing its trend.

The indicator shows a main line (Change Index) and a mean, which oscillate above and below a horizontal line (line 0).

Values ​​above line 0 indicate an upward trend in the medium or long term, below line 0, a downward trend.

The space between the main line and line 0 is colored green or red, depending on whether the Change Index value rises or falls.

We also see how the space between the main line and the middle line is painted blue or brown, also depending on the value of Change Index.


When should I buy? I have marked the zones on the graph: when Change Index rises approaching line 0 or simply when it cuts it.

We can also consider the crosses of the Change Index with its average, especially when they occur below the 0 line. This is a less safe buy after a strong fall, in this case it is better to wait for the second or third rebound in the Change Index .

This indicator can be used to reinforce other techniques.

I personally like to complete the chart with a series of moving averages, in addition to taking into account trend lines, supports and resistances.

Versionsinformation:

EP Change Index is made up of two averages, which oscillate above and below a central line, the 0 line.
The main ascending line above the average indicates rising prices.
The main descending line below the average reflects price decline or lateralization.

-Green color: Change Index main line growing and above 0.
Changes to green are usually good entry points, especially in a bullish situation and when they occur when crossing the 0 line.

-Yellow color: Change Index main line growing below 0.
In a bullish situation a large yellow spike can indicate a rapid price recovery. In the small incursions of the indicator below the 0 line, the yellow color shows us the return to the trend, so it may be a good time to join it.
However, in a bearish situation we should always wait to take positions when the main line is very close to 0. We will avoid entering when the averages are still very far from 0, and we will always be attentive to bearish turns of the indicator.
In a fall, we will find safer areas after observing increasingly higher Change Index peaks.
Orange color: Change Index main line falling above 0.
It does not always indicate a significant price drop, but we will be attentive to the next movement.

-Red color: Change Index main line falling below the average or 0 line.
It usually indicates a drop in prices, but this is not always the case. In a large upward trend we will observe with some frequency that the price continues to rise or sideways, without actually falling.
