SPPO - Statistical Price Position Oscillator

SPPO - Statistical Price Position Oscillator

=== INDICATOR OVERVIEW ===

The Statistical Price Position Oscillator (SPPO) is an innovative technical analysis tool built on rigorous statistical principles. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on fixed periods or subjective thresholds, SPPO uses dynamic statistical modeling to assess where current prices stand within their historical distribution.

=== KEY FEATURES ===

• Statistical Foundation: Based on normal distribution theory and Z-Score standardization
• Dynamic Parameter Adjustment: Automatically adapts to market volatility conditions
• Probability Quantification: Provides objective probability assessments for price levels
• Multi-Layer Visual System: Six layers of information encoding (line position, color intensity, line width, background, histogram, data panel)
• Professional Color Schemes: Multiple themes optimized for different trading environments
• Real-time Risk Assessment: Quantifies the statistical significance of current price positions

=== CORE COMPONENTS ===

1. SPPO Main Line
- Represents the standardized price position (Z-Score × Sensitivity)
- Dynamic line width: Normal (2px) for |Z| ≤ 1.0, Bold (6px) for extreme deviations
- Color coding: Neutral (gray) for normal range, Orange/Yellow for moderate deviation, Blue/Purple for extreme deviation

2. SPPO Histogram (Momentum Bars)
- Measures the momentum of statistical deviation, not price momentum
- Calculated as: (Current Z-Score - EMA of Z-Score) × Sensitivity
- Helps identify momentum divergences and trend continuation/reversal signals

3. Intelligent Data Panel
- Real-time display of key statistical metrics
- Shows: Price Position, Z-Score, Probability, Momentum, Deviation Classification, Market Regime
- Dynamic parameter display for transparency

4. Adaptive Background System
- Visual representation of market regimes
- Color intensity based on statistical significance
- Helps quickly identify extreme market conditions

=== PARAMETER SETTINGS ===

Core Parameters:
• Distribution Period (30-120, default 50): Statistical calculation window based on Central Limit Theorem
• Range Evaluation Period (10-100, default 14): Price range assessment window
• Position Sensitivity (0.5-4.0, default 2.5): Indicator responsiveness factor
• Probability Threshold (0.01-0.2, default 0.03): Signal trigger threshold

Confidence Intervals:
• 1σ Confidence (60%-75%, default 68%): Normal range boundary
• 2σ Confidence (90%-98%, default 95%): Significant deviation boundary
• 3σ Confidence (99.5%-99.9%, default 99.7%): Extreme deviation boundary

Dynamic Adjustment:
• Enable Dynamic Adjustment: Automatically optimizes parameters based on market volatility
• Volatility Lookback (10-50, default 10): Period for volatility assessment
• Dynamic Sensitivity Multiplier (0.5-3.0, default 1.5): Volatility-based sensitivity adjustment

=== MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION ===

SPPO is built on several key mathematical concepts:

1. Z-Score Standardization: Z = (X - μ) / σ
Where X = current price, μ = mean, σ = standard deviation

2. Normal Distribution Theory: Assumes prices follow normal distribution within rolling windows

3. Probability Density Function: PDF(z) = e^(-z²/2) / √(2π)

4. Cumulative Distribution Function: Approximates tail probabilities for extreme events

5. Dynamic Parameter Optimization: Adjusts calculation parameters based on market volatility percentiles

=== TRADING APPLICATIONS ===

1. Mean Reversion Strategy
- Entry: SPPO > +8 or < -8 with probability < 5%
- Confirmation: Momentum histogram showing divergence
- Exit: SPPO returns to ±3 range

2. Trend Confirmation
- Trend continuation: SPPO and histogram aligned
- Trend exhaustion: Extreme SPPO with weakening histogram
- Breakout validation: SPPO breaking confidence intervals with volume

3. Risk Management
- Position sizing based on probability inverse
- Stop-loss when SPPO extends beyond ±12
- Take-profit at statistical mean reversion levels

=== MARKET REGIME CLASSIFICATION ===

• Normal Range (|SPPO| < 3): Trend-following strategies preferred
• Moderate Deviation (3 < |SPPO| < 8): Cautious mean reversion with partial positions
• Extreme Deviation (|SPPO| > 8): Aggressive mean reversion with strict risk management

=== TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS ===

• Short-term Trading (30-50 period): Intraday scalping, high sensitivity
• Medium-term Analysis (50-80 period): Swing trading, balanced sensitivity
• Long-term Trends (80-120 period): Position trading, statistical stability focus

=== UNIQUE ADVANTAGES ===

1. Objective Signal Generation: Every signal backed by statistical probability
2. Self-Adaptive System: Automatically adjusts to changing market conditions
3. Multi-Dimensional Information: Six layers of visual information in single indicator
4. Universal Application: Works across all markets and timeframes
5. Risk Quantification: Provides probability-based risk assessment
6. Professional Visualization: Institutional-grade color schemes and data presentation
