The Cycle Period was created by John Ehlers and this is yet another version that shows how to calculate the current cycle period which is the approximate amount of days between a current peak or valley and the next peak or valley. I would not recommend this for trading since it is more for informational use only but I would try experimenting with this output to be...
The Mesa Spectrum Dominant Cycle was created by John Ehlers and this is the foundation for many indicators he created that would later follow. This is his updated version of his original Mesa algorithm and I do not recommend this indicator as a stand alone for trading. This is more of an informational indicator that will tell you the current dominant cycle period...
The Instantaneous Phase Dominant Cycle was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 18:3 (16-27)) and this is one of many similar indicators that I will be publishing from Ehlers in the next few months that calculate the current dominant cycle period. The cycle period can be used in multiple ways but generally this means that if the stock is currently at a...
This Indicator is based on classic MACD but with an exceptional smoothing. This smoothing eliminates the noise of the classic MACD as you see in the Chart Adaptive MACD is compiled using with two adaptive moving averages, one adaptive to the dominant cycle and the other adaptive to twice the dominant cycle. As the basic behind the MACD is the difference of...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced his Dominant Cycle Tuned Bandpass Filter Strategy in Mar, 2008. Function In "Measuring Cycle Periods", author John Ehlers presents a very interesting technique of measuring dominant market cycle periods by means of multiple bandpass filtering. By utilizing an approach similar to audio equalizers, the signal (here,...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Measuring the Dominant Cycle using the Dual Differentiator in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 14 on 2013. Function With Hilbert transformer, the first algorithm to compute the dominant cycle is called the dual differentiator. In this case, the phase angle is computed from the analytic signal as the...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Zero Crossings Period Measurer in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 5 on 2004. Function The band-pass filter can be used as a relatively simple measurement of the dominant cycle. A cycle is complete when the waveform crosses zero two times from the last zero crossing. Therefore, each successive zero...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Dual Differential Cycle Period Measurer in his "Rocket Science for Traders" chapter 7. The In-phase and Quadrature components are computed with the Hilbert Transformer using procedures identical to those in the Dual Differentiator. Function blackcat L2 Ehlers Homodyne Discriminator Cycle Period Measurer is used to...
Level: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced Phase Accumulation technique of cycle period measurement in his "Rocket Science for Traders" chapter 7. It is perhaps the easiest to comprehend. In this technique, John Ehlers measures the phase at each sample by taking the arctangent of the ratio of the Quadrature component to the In-phase component. A delta phase is...
The Spectrum Derived Filter Bank was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 26:3 (16-22)) and this is technically two indicators in one. This will let you know the current cycle period which is in blue and the other indicator will let you know if you should buy the stock or not. Buy when it is green and sell when it is red. Let me know if you would like...
The Dominant Cycle Tuned Bypass Filter was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 26:3 (16-22)) and this is a particularly unique indicator because this does a pretty good job at predicting the future stock movements. If the blue line crosses over the red then a few bars from now the stock price will most likely go up and if the blue line crosses below...
The Discrete Fourier Transform Indicator was written by John Ehlers and more details can be found at www.mesasoftware.com I have color coded everything as follows: blue line is the dominant cycle, orange line is the power converted to decibels, and I have marked the other line as red if you should sell or green if you should buy Let me know if you would like...
Background version of the Dominant Cycle Tuned Rsi Background published here
Introduction Adaptive technical indicators are importants in a non stationary market, the ability to adapt to a situation can boost the efficiency of your strategy. A lot of methods have been proposed to make technical indicators "smarters" , from the use of variable smoothing constant for exponential smoothing to artificial intelligence. The dominant cycle...
Yet another method for determining the cycle of a market: this time, you have access to the two fastest and most accurate methods as well as the option to average these methods together. The controls are pretty straight forward: Source lets you select the price data to perform calculations on (close, open, etc..) Max Period is simply the cap for the algorithm...
This is my latest bandpass filter - used to determine if a security is in a trend or cycle. Now with an adaptive period setting! I use Ehlers in-phase & quadrature dominant cycle measurement (IQ IFM) method to set the period dynamically. This method favors longer periods which tend to produce smoother, albeit laggier bandpass oscillator plots. From my quick tests,...
Behold! A strategy that makes use of Ehlers research into the field of signal processing and wins so consistently, on multiple time frames AND on multiple currency pairs. The Adaptive Zero Lag EMA (AZLEMA) is based on an informative report by Ehlers and Ric . I've modified it by using Cosine IFM, a method by Ehlers on determining the dominant cycle period without...
Ehlers Smoothed Adaptive Momentum script. This indicator was developed and described by John F. Ehlers in his book "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures" (2004, Chapter 12: Adapting to the Trend).
