Description
The Cycle Trend Analytics indicator is an oscillator that can be used for analysis of cycles and trends in the market data. It is calculated as the difference between a price component and its moving average with a variable length. Cycle Trend analytics can be used in two modes: cycle and trend. The price component is selected based on the mode.
In the cycle mode, the price component is a sinewave with a 30-bar period. In the trend mode, the close price is used as the price component. The indicator calculates 26 plots of the difference of the price component and its moving averages with lengths incrementing from 5 through 30. Each line is shown in a progressively different color on the scale from yellow to red.
The cycle mode graph represents the response to the pure cycle over the range of moving average values. In the trend mode, the same is shown for real close prices: the amount of separation between the yellowest and the reddest lines represents the strength of the current trend. High positive values of the reddest lines signify a possible uptrend, and low negative values of the reddest lines signify a possible downtrend.
In addition to the main lines, the indicator also shows a reference plot representing the diffference between the fastest and the slowest moving average.
