This is Constance Brown's Derivative Oscillator indicator for MultiCharts, and was presented in her book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional" (chapter 14, "The Derivative Oscillator").
This oscillator uses a 14-period RSI, which is then double smoothed with exponential moving averages.
In a second step, a signal line is generated from the smoothed RSI by calculating a simple moving average of it.
The Derivative Oscillator is then calculated as the difference between the smoothed RSI and it's signal line.
Based on the original "Derivative Oscillator" coded by FatTails for NinjaTrader found here.
Constance Brown's Derivative Oscillator was published in her book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional".
The oscillator uses a 14-period RSI. The RSI is then double smoothed with exponential moving averages. The default settings for the smoothing periods are 5 and 3.
In a second step a signal line is generated from the smoothed RSI by calculating a simple moving average with a period of 9.
The Derivative Oscillator is calculated as the difference between the smoothed RSI and the signal line and displayed as histogram.
I found (or someone pointed out & I remembered) that this version could plot Green bars below zero (when they should have been Red) or Red bars above zero (when they should have been Green). I found the error in the code & corrected it.
Once imported, it will appear in your indicator list as "d9POV2".
Here's an interesting indicator created by James Stanley of DailyFX. The oscillator measures the difference between the upper and lower bollinger bands. A moving average of the same length as the bollinger band is also plotted over the oscillator.
If the oscillator is greater than the moving average, it indicates the trend is accelerating.
If the oscillator is less than the moving average, it indicates the trend is decelerating.
Bill William's Acceleration Deceleration is a relative of the MACD, but it uses the Awesome Oscillator instead of the raw MACD. The signal line is obtained by smoothing the Awesome Oscillator via a simple moving average with the period 5.
This indicator can be used as a MACD histogram, which is built from simple instead of exponential moving averages.
Bill William's Awesome Oscillator is quite similar to the raw MACD, but uses simple moving averages with a period of 34 and 5 instead of the exponential moving averages used for the MACD. The input value is the median of the bar, whereas the default MACD uses the close.
The histogram shown by the indicator is comparable to the raw MACD line. I have added a signal line to the raw oscillator, just to show that it can be used in a similar fashion as the MACD.
There are other NinjaTrader versions of the Awesome Oscillator
- which use an additional data series to allow for changing the plot colors (NT 6.5)
- which do not allow to change the parameters for the moving averages
This indicator can be used as a MACD, which is built from simple instead of exponential moving averages.
This strategy is based off of the Detrended Price Oscillator indicator in the Strategy Trader platform. The EA will generate a buy signal when DPO value crosses above the zero line, and the EA will generate a sell signal when DPO value crosses below the zero line. A limit order can be specified in the EA parameters for exit.
Chande Momentum Oscillator. This should return the same values as the standard supplied version; its advantage being ~4-6K less memory consumption. It does not iterate (neither does the supplied) so is reasonable to use with CalculateOnBarClose == false. Version 1.0.

November 28th, 2014 10:35 PM itachi1991 guys i just imported this but it looks nothing like what is in the pic, there are no arrows only the macd on the bottom
plz help
October 27th, 2014 01:37 PM Denny2009 Great!!Thank you very much!
January 18th, 2017 04:22 PM ronturner I think that this is also called the caos awesome oscillator. Some use this to identify wave 3 (strongest, ie highest o
r lowest crest) to identify wave 3. The next crest would show divergence (weaker) for wave 5 or the end of that impulse
ive wave.
January 27th, 2016 04:01 PM Trailer Guy Wow, this really works well on my 20,000 tick es chart. I don't understand the point of the color changes but that is O
K. If you want to see how someone uses this for counting go to studyofcyclesblogspot and see how the "Elliot Trader" co
unts. I just like the way it says "this move is over".
September 4th, 2013 01:47 AM poodman looks like the Awesome Oscillator, maybe it will be easier to install and use
July 15th, 2013 03:32 PM teamtc247 Awesome indicator for convergence/divergence.
