Premier Stochastic Oscillator [LazyBear, V2]
This script builds on the well-known Premier Stochastic Oscillator (PSO) originally introduced by LazyBear, and adds a Z-Score extension to provide statistical interpretation of momentum extremes.
Features
Premier Stochastic Core: A smoothed stochastic calculation that highlights bullish and bearish momentum phases.
Z-Score Mapping: The PSO values are standardized into Z-Scores (from –3 to +3), quantifying the degree of momentum stretch.
Positive / Negative Z-Scores:
Positive Z values suggest momentum strength that can align with accumulation or favorable buying conditions.
Negative Z values indicate stronger bearish pressure, often aligning with selling or distribution conditions.
On-Chart Label: The current Z-Score is displayed on the latest bar for quick reference.
How to Use
Momentum Confirmation: Use the oscillator to confirm whether bullish or bearish momentum is intensifying.
Overextended Conditions: Extreme Z-Scores (±2 or beyond) highlight statistically stretched conditions, often preceding reversions.
Strategic Integration: Best applied in confluence with trend tools or higher-timeframe filters; not a standalone trading signal.
Originality
Unlike the standard PSO, this version:
Adds a Z-Score framework for objective statistical scaling.
Provides real-time labeling of Z values for clarity.
Extends the classic oscillator into a tool for both momentum detection and mean-reversion context.
