Trend Correlation Oscillator [SS]
Hello,
Publishing this simple indicator.
What is it?
The Trend Correlation Oscillator takes the concept of my autocorrelation oscillator but applies it simply to time instead of autocorrelation.
It performs a correlation assessment to time. The theory behind it is the stronger the correlation, the more "exhausted" the trend and the more likely the trend will reverse. It is kind of building off of random walk theory in which the market should be random and efficient.
Does it work?
If you follow me on my indicator side, you will know that my indicators are all based on my own research and findings and stuff that I personally find that works. All of this comes from years of losing money trying to use conventional systems and finally developing my own stuff that I find works well. This is such an invention. It does work extremely well but its best applied for day traders. If you want to use this as a swing trader, play around with the lookback length. I don't have general recommendations to swing traders wanting to use this because this isn't an indicator I personally would use for swing trading (I would use the autocorrelation oscillator for that).
How to use it:
The default setting is to a 14 candle lookback. This works the best. It also should really be used on the 5 minute chart and not the 1 minute chart, as from my experience this works much better.
When a trend is approaching "exhaustion" to the upside, the indicator will turn red to let you know we are approaching a trend exhaustion. Once the exhaustion is at its peak and beginning to reverse, the indicator will place a cross symbol on where your entry should be. See the image below for an example:
It also works well if you combine it with my PTCR Correlation Indicator:
Closing thoughts
That is basically the indicator. Its one of my more simple ones, but many times simple is better and most effective!
Hopefully you find it helpful.
As always let me know your questions, comments and feedback/recommendations for improvements below.
Please know I do read and make note of all recommendations for indicators and improvements, however as it is just me managing them, it takes time for implementation and review :-).
Safe trades!
