ROC Oscillator Breakout SW
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
When prices breakout resistance levels are combined with Rate of Change oscillator "ROC" breaks out its historical resistance levels then higher chances emerges to record farther prices. It's strongly encouraged to confirm price breakout with oscillator breakout since they have comparable effects to price breaking support and resistance levels; certainly short trades will have the same perception.
Concept is based on find swing levels which based on number of bars by each side to confirm peak or trough and in turn subjected to change by indicator settings "swing backstep".
Concept of oscillator support & resistance breakout is explained by the first screenshot. Thresholds have been provided to utilize if required, but remember to disable when looking for the earliest reversal signal.
Indicator signals are shown only on separated window; however, in case of desire to have signals displayed on chart window, pertained indicator could be found at https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/117845/
Having desire to use the indicator in your EA, consider buffer no 3 for long trades, and buffer no 4 for short trades. Indicator recommended to be used along with other indicators for price support and resistance, supply & demand zones, and/or trend indicator/s
indicator setting:
- Backward number of Bars : No of backward bars in demand to analyse by indicator
- Swing Backstep (min no of bars) : minimum no of bars to form peak or trough by each side
- ROC Period : applied number of bars for ROC calculation
- ROC applied price : price type used for ROC calculation
- Bullish Threshold (if not required >> -100.0) : minimum ROC value to consider overbought and display signal; having no desire to use threshold and display signals of any breakout, use a very low value (ex. -100.0)
- Bearish Threshold (if not required >> +100.0) : maximum ROC value to consider oversold and display signal; having no desire to use threshold and display signals of any breakout, use a very high value (ex. +100.0)
- Show only early breakout signals : Only display oscillator breakouts when occurs together with delay of price breakout (if required).
Note: No indicator will guarantee 100% of winning trades, but trader shall backtest for optimized setting in conjunction with other indicators
