[blackcat] L2 FArden Thomas Voting With Multiple Timeframes

Level 2

Background

For Traders’ Tips of November 2020, the focus is F. Arden Thomas’ article in the August 2020 issue, “Voting With Multiple Timeframes”.

Function
F. Arden Thomas sums up the returns by a stochastic indicator in a voting process over seven different timeframes, and uses the resulting votes for trade signals. He shows us a new way of using the classic stochastic oscillator by combining many timeframes into a single value by voting. By using this voting process, buy and sell signals derived from many intervals become clearly visible on the chart. This is an interesting concept that can be applied to many common indicators such as the RSI or ADX, not just the stochastic.

Although the author creates a voting system by counting the number of times the indicator is in overbought/oversold range, I thought it would be interesting to create a composite indicator by averaging the stochastic value over multiple timeframes into a single indicator that moves along the standard scale.
