ECO — Indicators and Strategies

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & ECO Strategy This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy We call this one the ECO for short, but it will be listed on the indicator list at W. Blau’s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator. The ECO is a momentum indicator. It is based on candlestick bars, and takes into account the size and direction of the candlestick "body". We have found it to be a very good momentum indicator, and especially smooth, because it is unaffected by gaps in price, unlike many other momentum indicators. We like to use this indicator as an additional trend confirmation tool, or as an alternate trend definition tool, in place of a weekly indicator. The simplest way of using the indicator is simply to define the trend based on which side of the "0" line the indicator is located on. If the indicator is above "0", then the trend is up. If the indicator is below "0" then the trend is down. You can add an additional qualifier by noting the "slope" of the indicator, and the crossing points of the slow and fast lines. Some like to use the slope alone to define trend direction. If the lines are sloping upward, the trend is up. Alternately, if the lines are sloping downward, the trend is down. In this view, the point where the lines "cross" is the point where the trend changes. When the ECO is below the "0" line, the trend is down, and we are qualified only to sell on new short signals from the Hi-Lo Activator. In other words, when the ECO is above 0, we are not allowed to take short signals, and when the ECO is below 0, we are not allowed to take long signals.

B3 ECO Blau's Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator = a decent trend finder, however slightly lagged. It can help you to see a reversal entry if you are looking for one. I find the one line ECO hard to use, so I have created this histogram version with a signal line. The colors help to show you whats going on with the ECO and its bias. This indicator shows up in a couple books by people other than Blau, and namely by Krausz. You can also see divergences, for example in pic above the lower or second of the two green humps showing that the general uptrend might be weakened as this run contained less momentum. Tighten up the signal line to see a faster change in its color. These settings are the B3 input settings for default, meaning the ones I use in trading. They are not however the default values you might read about other places.
