⚛WPZO - Wave Period Zone Oscillator by Cryptorhythms⚛WPZO - Wave Period Zone Oscillator by Cryptorhythms
Intro
Based upon Akram El Sherbini's article "Time Cycle Oscillators" published in IFTA journal 2018.
Companion indicator to the Wave Period Oscillator, this is simply a transformation to display in a familiar manner like an RSI. Occasionally WPO can exceed the upper and lower boundary lines in strong moves. With WPZO, it will never go below -80 or above +80.
Description
In the Authors words....
"The wave period zone oscillator (WPZO) is a bounded oscillator for the wave period oscillator (WPO) and calculates the period of the market’s cycle. In other words, the wave period refers to the time taken by buyers or sellers to complete one cycle. The oscillator moves within a range of -100 to 100 percent.
The WPZO has overbought and oversold levels at +40 and -40 respectively. At extreme periods, the oscillator may reach the levels of +60 and -60. The zero level demonstrates an equilibrium between the periods of bulls and bears. The WPZO oscillates between +40 and -40. The crossover at those levels creates buy and sell signals. In an uptrend, the WPZO fluctuates between 0 and +40 where the bulls are controlling the market.
On the contrary, the WPZO fluctuates between 0 and -40 during downtrends where the bears control the market. Reaching the extreme level of -60 in an uptrend is a sign of weakness. Mostly, the oscillator will retrace from its centerline rather than the upper boundary of +40. On the other hand, reaching +60 in a downtrend is a sign of strength, and the oscillator will not be able to reach its lower boundary of -40.
During an ideal uptrend, the WPZO does not reach the lower boundary of -40 and usually rebounds from a higher level than -40. This means that the bulls have taken control earlier. Hence, a zeroline crossover generates a buy signal. The WPZO crosses the upper boundary at +40, then pulls back again below +40 to generate a sell signal. During sideways, the WPZO fluctuates between the lower and upper boundaries of -40 and +40. This tactic is also used in an uptrend where corrections are strong enough to drive the WPZO line below the lower boundary. During downtrends, the WPZO fails to reach the upper boundary and oscillates between the 0 and -40 levels.
The bears enter early, indicating an obvious weakness in the market. Therefore, crossing the zero level generates a sell signal. The exit at weakness tactic is used during uptrend reversals and downtrends. The WPZO oscillates between the centerline and the lower boundary of -40. The bears are controlling the market and move in wide cycle periods, while the bull’s strength is almost absent. An exit signal is triggered once the WPZO crosses -40. When prices decline, the WPZO may cross its extreme lower boundary at -60. Therefore, a swift exit signal is triggered once the WPZO crosses -40.
The WPZO gives an insight about the relation between time and price movements. In this article, we used the oscillator to differentiate between the time taken by bulls and bears to complete one cycle. Due to the boundaries effect, the WPZO may diverge less than the WPO with prices."
TL:DR
More strategy discussed above, but heres the short version:
Bullish signals are generated when WPZO crosses over 0
Bearish signals are generated when WPZO crosses under 0
OverBought level is 40
OverSold level is -40
ExtremeOB level is 60
ExtremeOS level is -60
