This indicator was created & developed by Ucsgears, based on Murrey Math Line Principle.

Hello, Murrey Math lovers, Thanks for those who showed interest on this. Based on a request, I have updated the plot / candle coloring, for Version - 2. This has been in the queue for a while. There was a Glitch found with the Multiplier. Will Fix in the next version. The Current Version (and the previous version) only supports 1/8 fractions. Will not support 0.25. The code needs to be updated, to automate the fractal line glitches for other ratios, Planned for future update. Good Luck and Enjoy the Colorful Oscillator. Please keep your suggestions flowing. Lets make it better.

Script #1: Simple. No lower study. Just paint bars (green = bullish and red = bearish)

Support/resistance lines computed by Murray math. Similiar to other S/R studies so try it out then choose whatever study works best for you.

I also noticed that changing the time frame to daily, weekly, monthly has no effects. The indicator stays unchanged.
Does someone know why? It would be nice to use it on a higher timeframe.
Thanks
 
Thats not MMLs... MML its calculated based on bar count (on time based bars.. ie 64bars, 128, 256, 512bars and on a 15min, 1hour, 4hour, Daily ,weekly etc) and is user defined... Plus there are additional levels (+1/8, +2/8, -1/8, -2/8) and is calculated relative to swing pivots (not just today's or yesterdays range)... This is not even close...
 
@Rhatten I believe you are correct. It was done by somebody named SJ so not sure why he coded it that way. I find it difficult to see how someone could use it. It is finding the high and low and filling the range with the levels.
 
Found this on the internets.. might be a true model of the indicator but not sure. I'm playing with it for now. Trying to figure out how to get the S/R labels to the left side of the chart. If you developer guru's can take it to another level, have at it.... Muchas Gracias.

@horserider Thanks, bummer, but I'm gonna work with it for tad to get a feel for it. BTW, is getting those labels on the left side of the chart a big deal?

Edit: I have the mq4 file I found for free but have no clue how to convert it. If anyone who knows how to do that and is interested, let me know.

Use the " n " input to move the bubbles to right or input a negative number to move left. You can get them off the chart plot if move right and use expansion. Well should work, try it to get what you want.
 
Ive read on Murry's lines where each line is proportional to 1/8. from what I can tell
Oscillator Color Definition -
Green = Above MidLine
Red = Below Midline
Blue = Below Negative 3rd Quadrant
Orange = Above Positive 3rd Quadrant

based on research and some testing, I find in the lower time frame, it does a pretty good job finding tops and bottoms on OB and OS conditions.

if oscillator crosses below (mult * 6) then short else
if oscillator crosses above (-mult * 6) then long.

if anyone has any other test results or experiences please share.
 
Apart from circles, speed lines, and frames, Murrey math is the same as Fibonacci ratios.
 
Do we have the original Murrey math with all of the levels for TOS, the video's for the original are extensive and detailed. The levels make the application clearer for me.

Thanks
 
@Lambert58 Thank you for the video. I've seen it before. I thought maybe you were talking about a video that I haven't seen.

That and all other videos/discussions of Murrey Math/Fibs miss several key points, i.e., they don't discuss progression and how the price interacts with key injection pivots.
