Osilator Ultimate / Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
UFO + Realtime Divergences (UO x MFI)UFO + Realtime Divergences (UO x MFI) + Alerts
The UFO is a hybrid of two powerful oscillators - the Ultimate Oscillator (UO) and the Money Flow Index (MFI)
Features of the UFO include:
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime.
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur, as well as centerline crossovers.
- Configurable lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes.
- Background colouring option to indicate when the oscillator has crossed its centerline.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
- 2x MTF triple-timeframe Stochastic RSI overbought and oversold confluence signals painted at the top of the panel for use as a confluence for reversal entry trades.
The core calculations of the UFO+ combine the factory settings of the Ultimate Oscillator and Money Flow Index, taking an average of their combined values for its output eg:
UO_Value + MFI_Value / 2
The result is a powerful oscillator capable of detecting high quality divergences, including on very low timeframes and highly volatile markets, it benefits from the higher weighting of the most recent price action provided by the Ultimate Oscillators calculations, as well as the calculation of the MFI, which incorporates volume data. The UFO and its incorporated 2x triple-timeframe MTF Stoch RSI overbought and oversold signals makes it well adapted for low timeframe scalping and regular divergence trades in particular.
The Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
Tradingview describes the Ultimate Oscillator as follows:
“The Ultimate Oscillator indicator (UO) is a technical analysis tool used to measure momentum across three varying timeframes. The problem with many momentum oscillators is that after a rapid advance or decline in price, they can form false divergence trading signals. For example, after a rapid rise in price, a bearish divergence signal may present itself, however price continues to rise. The Ultimate Oscillator attempts to correct this by using multiple timeframes in its calculation as opposed to just one timeframe which is what is used in most other momentum oscillators.”

The Money Flow Index ( MFI )
Investopedia describes the True Strength Indicator as follows:
“The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100. Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .”

The Stochastic RSI (relating to the built-in MTF Stoch RSI feature)
The popular oscillator has been described as follows:
“The Stochastic RSI is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms) and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index ( RSI ) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. The Stochastic RSI oscillator was developed to take advantage of both momentum indicators in order to create a more sensitive indicator that is attuned to a specific security's historical performance rather than a generalized analysis of price change.”

How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is when the Stochastic RSI is above the 80 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the 20 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the Stochastic RSI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the Stochastic RSI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the Stoch RSI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the Stoch RSI .
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose.
Configurable pivot period.
You can adjust the default pivot lookback values to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action.

Ultimate Oscillator + Realtime DivergencesUltimate Oscillator (UO) + Realtime Divergences + Alerts + Lookback periods.
This version of the Ultimate Oscillator adds the following 5 additional features to the stock UO by Tradingview:
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur, as well as centerline crossovers.
- Configurable lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes.
- Background colouring option to indicate when the UO has crossed the centerline, or optionally when both the UO and an external oscillator, which can be linked via the settings, have both crossed their centerlines.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
This indicator adds additional features onto the stock Ultimate Oscillator by Tradingview, whose core calculations remain unchanged. Namely the configurable option to automatically and clearly draw divergence lines onto the oscillator for you as they occur in realtime. It also has the addition of unique alerts, so you can be notified as divergences occur without spending all day watching the charts. Furthermore, this version of the Ultimate Oscillator comes with configurable lookback periods, which can be configured in order to adjust the length of the divergences, in order to suit shorter or higher timeframe trading approaches.

Bogdan Ciocoiu - LitigatorDescription
The Litigator is an indicator that encapsulates the value delivered by the Relative Strength Index, Ultimate Oscillator, Stochastic and Money Flow Index algorithms to produce signals enabling users to enter positions in ideal market conditions. The Litigator integrates the value delivered by the above four algorithms into one script.
This indicator is handy when trading continuation/reversal divergence strategies in conjunction with price action.
Uniqueness
The Litigator's uniqueness stands from integrating the above algorithms into the same visual area and leveraging preconfigured parameters suitable for short term scalping (1-5 minutes).
In addition, the Litigator allows configuring the above four algorithms in such a way to coordinate signals by colour-coding or shape thickness to aid the user with identifying any emerging patterns quicker.
Furthermore, Moonshot's uniqueness is also reflected in the way it has standardised the outputs of each algorithm to look and feel the same, and in doing so, enabling users to plug them in/out as needed. This also includes ensuring the ratios of the shapes are similar (applicable to the same scale).
Open-source
The indicator uses the following open-source scripts/algorithms:

FTL - Range Filter X2 + EMA + UOThjs script combines two range filters, an EMA and the Ultimate oscillator.
This is an indicator type of script with alerts that is ideal for one minute scalping and was developed initially for NAS100 but has been used successfully with other symbols.
The two range filters are used to detect when the short and mid term trends are in the same direction.
The EMA indicates the longer term trend and the UO is used to determine if an asset is overbought or oversold.
This indicator pairs well with divergence indicators to add confluence to a change in direction.
Additional features of this indicator:
- Configure whether to show buy and sell labels only when asset is not overbought or oversold
- Select whether to show buys only when price is above the EMA , or sells only below the EMA
- Indicate a bar where a trend crosses the EMA and select if the crossover or cross under should be shown only in a counter trend.
- Pullbacks within a trend can be identified. This may indicate trend continuation.
- Alerts can be created for pullbacks, EMA crossing and for buy or sell signals
KINSKI Multi Trend OscillatorThe Multi Trend Oscillator is a tool that combines the ratings of several indicators to facilitate the search for profitable trades. I was inspired by the excellent indicator "Technical Ratings" from Team TradingView to create an alternative with a technically new approach. Therefore, it is not a modified copy of the original, but newly conceived and implemented.
The recommendations of the indicator are based on the calculated ratings from the different indicators included in it. The special thing here is that all settings for the individual indicators can be changed according to your own needs and displayed as a histogram and MA line. This provides an excellent visual control of your own settings. Alarms are also triggered.
Criteria for determining the rating
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Buy - Crossover oversold level and indicator < oversold level and rising
Sell - Crossunder oversold level and indicator >= oversold level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Relative Strength Index (RSI) Laguerre
Buy - Crossover Oversold Level and Indicator < Oversold Level and rising
Sell - Crossunder oversold level and indicator >= oversold level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Noise free Relative Strength Index (RSX)
Buy - Crossover Oversold Level and Indicator < Oversold Level and rising
Sell - Crossunder oversold level and indicator >= oversold level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Money Flow Index (MFI)
Buy - Crossover Oversold Level and Indicator < Oversold Level and rising
Sell - Crossunder oversold level and indicator >= oversold level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
Buy - Crossover Oversold Level and Indicator < Oversold Level and rising
Sell - Crossunder oversold level and indicator >= oversold level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD)
Buy - values of the main line > values of the signal line and rising
Sell - values of the main line < values of the signal line and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Klinger
Buy - indicator >= 0 and rising
Sell - indicator < 0 and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Average Directional Index (ADX)
Buy - indicator > 20 and +DI line crosses over the -DI line and rising
Sell - indicator > 20 and +DI line crosses below the -DI line and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Awesome Oscillator
Buy - Crossover 0 and values are greater than 0, or exceed the zero line
Sell - Crossunder 0 and values are lower than 0, or fall below the zero line
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Ultimate Oscillator
Buy - Crossover oversold level and indicator < oversold level and rising
Sell - Crossunder oversold level and indicator >= oversold level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Williams Percent Range
Buy - Crossover Oversold Level and Indicator < Oversold Level and rising
Sell - Crossunder Oversold Level and Indicator >= Oversold Level and falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Momentum
Buy - Crossover 0 and indicator levels rising
Sell - Crossunder 0 and indicator values falling
Neutral - neither Buy nor Sell
Total Ratings
The numerical value of the rating "Sell" is 0, "Neutral" is 0 and "Buy" is 1. The total rating is calculated as the average of the ratings of the individual indicators and are determined according to the following criteria:
MaxCount = 12 (depending on whether other oscillators are added).
CompareSellStrong = MaxCount * 0.3
CompareMid = MaxCount * 0.5
CompareBuyStrong = MaxCount * 0.7
value <= CompareSellStrong - Strong Sell
value < CompareMid and value > CompareSellStrong - Sell
value == 6 - Neutral
value > CompareMid and value < CompareBuyStrong - Buy
value >= CompareBuyStrong - Strong Buy
Understanding the results
The Multi Trend Oscillator is designed so that its values fluctuate between 0 and currently 12 (maximum number of integrated indicators). Its values are displayed as a histogram with green, red and gray bars. The bars are gray when the value of the indicator is at half of the number of indicators used, currently 12. Increasingly saturated green bars indicate increasing values above 6, and increasingly saturated red bars indicate increasingly decreasing values below 6.
The table at the end of the histogram shows details (can be activated in the settings) about the overall rating and the individual indicators. Its color is determined by the rating value: gray for neutral, green for buy or strong buy, red for sell or strong sell.
The following alarms are triggered:
Multi Trend Oscillator: Sell
Multi Trend Oscillator: Strong Sell
Multi Trend Oscillator: Buy
Multi Trend Oscillator: Strong Buy

Uber Strength OscillatorThis is my Uber Oscillator applied to RSI essentially. So its like an Ultimate Oscillator with more lengths added, but instead of MAs its RSIs. So its a multi-momentum index of sorts. Part of my efforts in realizing the amazing potential of using multiple lengths of an oscillator to get a bigger picture, while also recognizing that simply stacking them on top of eachother is so ugly and hard to read that it can easily result in mistakes if you arent super careful. So this is an attempt to make that clearer.
Uber Oscillator with DivergencesThis is a simple mod of the Uber Oscillator with more periods added to the mix and combined with a the Tradingview Divergence spotter.
Compare it to the standard Ultimate Oscillator and see the difference. Good to even overlay them even.
It basically just adds more detail. You won't always need it but sometimes it can catch big drops/peaks earlier then the standard AO while still retaining relative relaxedness during other periods.
Triple Cross UOSensitivity to a price change:
Black UO > Green UO > Red UO
How to reach a chart using UO_3X indicator:
A trend can be considered as stable if Green UO crosses and stays above Red UO. Visually it will look like a green cloud.
During uptrend there is a tendency of Black UO to fluctuate above Green OU and especially above Red UO. Coloring it yellow.
First reversal signal of the uptrend would be if Black UO touches or crosses above Red Band.
Second reversal signal is when Black UO falls below Green UO.
As a result of second reversal signal, Green UO also declines and eventually crosses below Red UO which is the confirmation of upcoming general downtrend, coloring it red.
During a downtrend Black and Green UOs fluctuate below RED UO.
Once black UO crosses below Green Band, coloring it blue, the first signal of upcoming reversal of downtrend is established.
Second signal of reversal of downtrend would be is when Black UO crosses above Green and RED UOs.
Confirmation of uptrend would be if Green UO goes above Red UO coloring it Green.
1337 OscillatorThis script is inspired by the Awesome Oscillator by Bill Williams. The 1337 Oscillator uses a faster and more reactive hull moving average.
Signals could be from the 0 line crosses or rising/falling.
Cross UO v1This is my first script.
I use 2x UO's as a tool to identify the stability and overall condition of a trend.
The UO colored blue is more reactive to price change (candles) than red one, because it takes into account less candles.
The difference in rates of change is a mass mental condition of a market.
The combo might predict the reversals too.
How to read a chart using it?
We'd know the uptrend is stable when Blue UO fluctuates OVER Red UO.
As blue UO reaches red band - it's time for reversal.
To confirm the reversal of an uptrend - Blue UO must cross below Red UO.
During downtrend, the blue and red UOs are reaching green band which would indicate that market is oversold.
Once Blue UO touches green band and crosses above red UO - it's time for downtrend to reverse it's direction.
ck - Ultimate Oscillator & RSI Indicator v1Hi,
This is an indicator that combines the Ultimate Oscillator with RSI.
Currently it displays signals on the screen when the RSI crosses from low to high (to open and close a long) and vice versa for short signals.
Further signals will be developed for Ultimate Oscillator longs/shorts.
Stay tuned!
CM_Ultimate_MA_MTF_V2 with Alert Long and Short Hello All,
Here is a scirpt of ChrisMoody modified with the alerts of purchases and sales.
I just have a problem with automation. At the bottom of my script my alerts "Buy1" and "Sell2" give alerts constantly and I wish to have a single alert before the order is completed. Before "Sell1" or Buy2 ".
I found the function "barstate.isfirst" that could possibly work?
Does anyone have an idea ? :)
RSI/MFI with Volatility Bands [GVD]This is an edit of the LAzyBear script.
The script is adjusted to show both the RSI and the MFI on 1 chart.
Log-space Ultimate OscillatorThis is the same script as the built-in Ultimate Oscillator except it is calculated in log-space, which may help with some very high-volatility charts (the differences will be usually be very small though).
Ultimate Oscillator Divergence Detector v0.1I wanted a more dynamic divergence indicator than the stock one so this is what's come of it so far. This is a very early version but I found its detecting normal bullish divergences pretty well so I thought I'd release it.
Right now it only supports normal bullish divergences. I'm working on improving accuracy before I add in normal bearish divergences, and then will be handling hidden divergences.
The spacing parameter will probably need to be tweaked based on the time frame of interest. For small time frames a value of 3 seems to work, for longer ones I go up to 7. Anything below 3 will be extremely sensitive and anything above 10 will hardly notice anything. The spacing for the example here is 3 for the main graph and 7 for the ultimate oscillator graph.
UO_30-50-70Ultimate Oscillator with bands present at the 30, 50, and 70 pt levels.
Personally use this every time, created a script to hard code these lines so I wouldn't need to redraw them all the time.
Enjoy
[LAVA] UNO OverlayEDIT: Ignore the comments... I can't get the update to show due to hard brackets " " being censored for some reason.... but they show up in here so this is where the updates will show.
This is the Ultimate (Nonlinear) Oscillator in overlay format. Took me a while to figure out the best configuration and finally found this one. From what I've observed, this is basically a support/resistance line indicator. When the candle moves thru the supporting/resisting line, its a entry/exit point or an indicator that the opposite side should be targeted depending on the market condition. Ignore the wicks as they go thru the line constantly.

Color coded UO Small modification to stock UO code to highlight lows / highs. This helps to see the trend easily. The length to check for high/low is configurable (lengthSlope), I am yet to find the optimal setting but 30 looks nice so far.
