$VOLSPD Oscillator (S&P Squeeze Alert)

[tropicalfartbreeze]

Hi there,

I'm not an expert by any means, but I am working on a project to aid a very specific strategy that requires a very specific setup. The asset I am trading relies heavily on market internals, primarily SPX. Success is currently being back-tested in a journal, and I don't have enough results to claim this strategy works in all market conditions; which is why I'm looking to develop a tool (or perhaps gain insight on already existing tools). I am excited with what I would deem preliminary results have provided so far.

I apologize for any confusion this may bring, as I'm not quite a technician by any means. I'm using the best of my current knowledge in an entry and exit on a particular strategy. I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way!

What I am attempting to do is convert $VOLSPD into an oscillator that works similarly to how you would graphically view MACD & SqueezePro/TTM_Squeeze. Now $VOLSPD on a greater timeframe (e.x. 1y 1d chart) already operates as an oscillator, even though intraday will display a trend. It needs a zero-line and the bars would show up and down volume on $VOLSPD much like what you would see with TTM, MACD, DMI Oscillator, etc. I think for this to work you need to do $VOLSPD/10000000 which then gives it a range of double digits as opposed to...many digits $VOLSPD shows by default.

Okay, so we get $VOLSPD functioning as an oscillator, cool. The next step is we need to compile a couple key signals that would be provided by something else. The signals would be derived from when the Bollinger Bands enter the 1, 2, and 3 factorial Keltner Channels on a 5 minute chart (however if it's possible to automatically adjust to your timeframe that would be great). For summary purposes, we would essentially be replicating the "dots" that are on the zero line with TTM_Squeeze.

Lastly $TICK expressed as a line on the oscillator, basically a way to graphically view $TICK converging and diverging with $VOLSPD.

Hi Sleepy,

thanks for for this indicator, just wanted to check is it possible to make this oscillator work for $ADSPD as well but without normalization. Since ADSPD is for stocks in SnP the max values would only be +500 & -500. Can you please let me know what changes I need to make in the above indicator to make it for ADSPD. thanks in advance.

@SleepyZ thanks a ton - this is an amazing oscillator and appreciate you sharing it. We need more such market internals indicators. Please do share if you have any more of such gems!!
