Taintalicious Indicator
This indicator gathers data from the Weis Wave indicator (thanks to @LazyBear for the original code), and coverts it to something like a VPCI or a Chaikin Oscillator. This indicator is quite versatile. It can be ran with Weis Wave turned on and the Bands + MA turned on together, though I find the scaling becomes an issue. If it is the only indicator you're using, scaling isn't a problem as long as you enlarge it. I prefer to run the Bands + MA + Long MA as one setup, and flip to Weis Wave when I need to see the raw data underneath. You can use this indicator to spot momentum shifts, the strength of bullish or bearish moves, bull/bear divergences, trend reversals, consolidation/squeezes, and even Wyckoff springs. It will take some getting used to though.
Tips for interpretation:
--Bearish/Bearish Divergence: TI diverges from price. TI is making lower highs or higher lows while price is making higher highers or higher lows. You can turn on the setting to highlight some of these divergences, but I find it easier to simply look for them.
--As an Oscillator: TI crossing zero can indicate a shift in momentum. The deeper the initial rise or fall past zero, the stronger the momentum shift.
--Overbought/Oversold: When TI breaches the bands while they are wide--indicating high volatility in the same way Bollinger Bands do--this can be viewed as an overbought or oversold signal. Begin looking for an entry once TI forms a "v" shape, and begins moving back towards the bands. The best entry is typically when TI breaks back into the bands. These breaches are highlighted with either green or red.
--Long MA: This can be used for bull/bear divergence as well as a leading indicator for trend reversals or momentum shifts. TI crossing above or below the Long MA is one signal. Whether the Long MA is above or below zero indicates the market sentiment/trend over the last 100 periods--above zero being bullish and below zero being bearish.
Best setting for Trend Detection Length is 4
