[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Decycler Oscillator

10 de dez. de 2020

Level: 2

Background

John F. Ehlers introuced Decycler Oscillator in Sep, 2015.

Function

In “Decyclers” in Sep, 2015, John Ehlers described a method for constructing an oscillator that could help traders detect trend reversals with almost no lag, an oscillator that signals trend reversals with almost zero lag via digital signal processing techniques. A high-pass filter is subtracted from the input data and the high-frequency components are removed via cancellation of terms. Lower-frequency components are filtered from the output, so they are not canceled from the original data. Thus, the decycler displays them with close to zero lag. The fast line has a period of 100 a K value of 1.2 and the slow line has a period of 125 and a K value of 1.

This script demonstrates the timely response of the decycler oscillator to market action. It applies the idea of using a decycler oscillator pair with different parameters, as discussed in Ehlers’ article:
1. Enter long when the fast line crosses over the slow line;
2. Exit long when the fast line crosses under the slow line.

Key Signal

Fast_Val --> Ehlers Decycler Oscillator fast line
Slow_Val --> Ehlers Decycler Oscillator slow line

Pros and Cons

100% John F. Ehlers definition translation, even variable names are the same. This help readers who would like to use pine to read his book.

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.
