The FT is a very useful trading indicator. Would anybody know how to make it into an oscillator? .

I believe it's already an oscillator in TOS.

Thanks for your comment JP. By SF definition in the index, the indicator is normalized and that is clear from looking at screens. You are probably correct that it is already an oscillator, however if that is true, what would be the boundaries? Most results cluster between -3 and +3, but there are many exceptions. Readings much higher like 5's and 6's are rare but seem to have significance. For example on 3/28/2013 NX's Fisher transformation (10) was -6.06, within a week or so the stock made a big rally and reversed again when the indicator reached 3.97. What I would like to find out if there are any numbers that align well with reversals.

IndPosition
Parameters Indicator

Usage indposition(indicator,length)
Description This measure returns the current position of an indicator with respect to the min and max of the measure over the specified number of days.

The value returned will be between 0 and 1. Values closer to 0 indicate the measure is closer to the lower bound in the given period of time. Values closer to 1 indicator the current value of the measure is closer to making a high over the specified period of time.

Thanks Four, it seems like your filter would almost act like an oscillator if the time period was many days(like 200). I'd still be curious if the Fisher Transform theoretically had no limits or if it was truly an oscillator

Four, from your link:
"Since momentum is unbounded however, we don't have an objective way to determine exactly how "overbought" or "oversold" the market is. What we can do instead, is look at historical data for the particular instrument we are charting, and determine suitable "overbought" and "oversold" areas based on past levels"

I guess I can conclude that my unanswered question is moot. It does seem like it is unbounded Your above filter should do what would be needed. My thanks to you and JP.

I am new to the forum and need help to create a scanner using fisher transformation and Bollinger band. I created one please give me suggestions

price touched Lower Bollinger Band(20,2.2) 2 days ago
and price is greater than 10 and less than 100
and not etf and
set{fisher_1ago, Fisher Transform(10) 1 day ago}
show stocks where Fisher Transform(10) crossed above fisher_1ago
and close is above 5.00
and average volume(30) is above 250000
