27 באוק׳ 2020

Level: 2

Background

John F. Ehlers introuced Cyber Cycle Indicator in his "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures" chapter 4 on 2004.


Function

Trading the Cyber Cycle Indicator is straightforward. Buy when the at this point. Sell when the Cycle line crosses under the Trigger line. You are at the bottom of the cycle at this point. Sell when the Cycle line crosses under the Trigger line. You are at the top of the cycle in this case. To be sure, there are crossings at other than the cyclic turning points. Many of these can be eliminated by discretionary traders using their experience or others of their favorite tools. One of the more interesting aspects of the Cyber Cycle is that it was developed simultaneously with the Instantaneous Trendline. They are opposite sides of the same coin because the total frequency content of the market being analyzed is in one indicator or the other. This is important because the conventional methods of using moving averages and oscillators can be dispensed with.

Key Signal

Cycle ---> Cyber Cycle fast line
Cycle (2) ---> Cyber Cycle slow line

Readme

In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.

The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.

Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.

Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.

Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.

Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.

Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
