M-Oscillator 

Bitcoin / US Dollar Perpetual Inverse Swap ContractBitMEX

תיאור

The M-Oscillator is a bounded oscillator that moves between (-14) and (+14), it gives early buy/sell signals, spots divergences, displays overbought/oversold levels, and provides re-entry points, and it also work as a trend identifier.

Interpretation
• M-Oscillator is plotted along the bottom of the price chart; it fluctuates between positive and negative 14.
• Movement above 10 is considered overbought, and movement below -10 is oversold.
• In sharp moves to the upside, the M-Oscillator fluctuates between 5 and 14, while in down side it fluctuates between -5 and -14.
• In an uptrend, the M-Oscillator fluctuates between zero and 14 and vice versa.

Trading tactics
Overbought/Oversold: We define the overbought area as anywhere above the 10 level.
The oversold area is below -10. When the M-Oscillator goes above 10 (overbought) and then re-crosses it to the downside, a sell signal is triggered.
When the M-Oscillator surpasses -10 to the downside and then re-crosses back above this level, a buy signal is triggered.
This tactic is only successful during sideways markets; during an uptrend, the oscillator will remain in its overbought territory for long period of times.
During a downtrend, it will remain in oversold for a long time.

Divergence
Divergence is one of the most striking features of the M-Oscillator.
It is a very important aspect of technical analysis that enhances trading tactics enormously; it shows hidden weakness or strength in the market, which is not apparent in the price action.
A positive divergence occurs when the price is declining and makes a lower low, while M-Oscillator witnesses a higher low.
A negative divergence occurs when the price is rising and makes a higher High, while the M-Oscillator makes a lower high, which indicates hidden weakness in the market.
Divergences are very important as they give us early hints of trend reversal (weekly chart)

Is there a strategy version of this study for backtesting?

@NGBaltic, Thank you!! If you could include date range selection in the backtesting that would be perfect! Then we would know how profitable this study really is.

What are your recommendations for creating alerts for a single round table trade? One for buying and one for selling.

@bsinclair2076, Had a friend help out. Here is the strategy version that was created. It looks correct to me. If the alerts could be triggered 1 candle sooner is only adjustment we can see.

@bsinclair2076, it may work but this strategy does not come even close to what m-oscillator is capable of :) please read IFTA 2018 issue you will get really good idea how to use it.
