Cycle

The Ehler Stochastic Cyber Cycle indicator identifies cyclical turning points in price action by combining John Ehlers' Cyber Cycle with a Stochastic oscillator to filter out noise and highlight high-probability trend reversals. This tool specifically plots signals when crossovers occur within overbought or oversold zones, providing clear visual cues for potential market entries.

Usage

The indicator can be used to identify potential market reversals during cyclical price movements. Unlike standard oscillators that plot every crossover, this tool focuses on signals that occur at extremes.

  • Bullish Signals: A green triangle up appears below the price bar when the Stochastic Cyber Cycle crosses above its trigger line while below the oversold level.
  • Bearish Signals: A red triangle down appears above the price bar when the Stochastic Cyber Cycle crosses below its trigger line while above the overbought level.

Users can adjust the sensitivity of these signals by modifying the length and beta parameters to better suit different assets or timeframes.

Details

The script is based on the technical analysis concepts developed by John Ehlers. It first calculates a "Cyber Cycle" using a smoothing technique to isolate the cyclical component of price. This cycle is then processed through a Stochastic calculation to bound the values between 0 and 1, followed by a final centering and smoothing step to create the Stochastic Cyber Cycle (SCC) line.

The signal logic requires a crossover between the SCC line and a trigger line (a delayed version of the SCC). To minimize false signals, the indicator only plots shapes when these crossovers occur beyond the user-defined overbought/oversold (ObOs) thresholds.

Settings

  • Length: The lookback period used for the Stochastic calculation. Higher values result in slower, more significant signals.
  • Beta: A smoothing constant for the initial Cyber Cycle calculation.
  • ObOs Level: The threshold for determining overbought and oversold zones. A value of 0.15 means signals only trigger when the SCC is above 0.15 or below -0.15.

FAQ

How do I interpret the signals?

A green triangle suggests a potential upward reversal from an oversold condition, while a red triangle suggests a potential downward reversal from an overbought condition.

Can I set alerts for these signals?

Yes, the script includes built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish crossovers, allowing you to receive notifications when specific setups occur.
