Volume Weighted Price Oscillator
This indicator calculates the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO), a momentum oscillator similar to the MACD. It displays the distance between two moving averages as a percentage, making it comparable across different assets. This implementation enhances the PPO with optional volume weighting and a built-in divergence engine.
Key Features:
Customizable MA & Volume Weighting: Both the fast and slow moving averages (and the signal line) can be customized using different MA types (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA). An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all three MAs.
MACD-Style Display: Provides the three core components: the PPO line (momentum), a signal line (trigger), and a histogram (momentum acceleration). The histogram is color-coded to show increasing or decreasing momentum.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): A built-in divergence engine automatically detects and plots all three major divergence classes between price and the PPO line:
Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
Divergence Filtering and Visualization:
Price Tolerance Filter: Divergence detection is enhanced with a percentage-based price tolerance (pivPrcTol) to filter out insignificant market noise.
Persistent Visualization: Divergence markers are plotted for the entire duration of the signal and are visually anchored to the PPO level of the confirming pivot.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF PPO Lines: The PPO, signal line, and histogram can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a timeframe other than the chart's timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated on the active chart timeframe.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The PPO line crossing its signal line.
The PPO line crossing the zero line.
The histogram changing direction (reverting).
