Market Navigator Oscillator

Similar to the Market Navigator, the Market Navigator Oscillator turns the methodology taught in Market School by Investors Business Daily into an easy-to-use indicator, but in a more condensed form. The Market Navigator Oscillator plots all of the same information as the original Market Navigator, but keeps your main chart clear. This system follows a strict set of rules to help gauge when it's time to increase market exposure or back away.

The indicator considers 24 different buy and sell signals, as well as portfolio management rules, to keep you on the right side of the market with no guesswork.

Buy and sell signals are generated based on different criteria, including the relationship between price and key moving averages, volume, and time. Each signal is assigned a point value, which is then added (buy signal) or subtracted (sell signal) to the running exposure count when the signal occurs. This exposure count is then used to give a recommended maximum exposure level.

The Market Navigator Oscillator also identifies certain instances when being more aggressive is called for, known as a Power Trend. A Power Trend is triggered within the context of an uptrend that meets a certain criterion of price, length, and moving average relationship.

This indicator is a must-have for any trader looking to take the guesswork out of their trading by automating recommended exposure levels and being in step with the market.

Principles covered include:

• Recommended maximum portfolio exposure
  
• Buy switch / restraint rules
  
• Follow through / distribution days
  
• Power Trend
  

Dynamic Day 1
When you first put the indicator on your chart, it will ask you to select Day 1 of the current rally attempt. A Day 1 is defined as either:

• The first positive day in a down trending market
  
• A down day where the index closes in the upper half of the daily range

Small update to fix a bug in the data table displaying the number of stall days when the buy switch was off.

Catatan Rilis:

The Market Navigator now includes the option to turn on or off the 95% rule.

The 95% rule was not talked about in the original Market School course but was later added as a rule for stall days. With the rule turned on, when stalling action occurs and volume is within 95% of the previous days volume, it will be counted as a stall day.

If the 95% rule is turned off, higher volume than the previous day will be required for stall days.

Catatan Rilis:

Small fix to Power Trend when using it on individual stocks instead of indexes.

Catatan Rilis:

Update to Power Trend under pressure from distribution cluster and living above the 21 logic.

Update allows for more distribution days to show in the data table counter.
