Summary

This document describes an indicator that presents the Center of Gravity method associated with J. F. Ehlers as a colored OSMA histogram. The histogram is formed from a smoothed difference between the main Center of Gravity line and its signal line, offering a visual way to follow changes in their relationship.

The note identifies a moving-average class used to smooth intermediate calculations and points to a separate article for details about that implementation. It provides no trading rules, parameter settings, performance results, or evidence that the histogram predicts prices. The description is brief, so practical interpretation and limitations of the indicator cannot be assessed from this document alone.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays a Center of Gravity calculation as a colored OSMA histogram.
  • The histogram represents a smoothed difference between the main and signal lines.
  • A moving-average class is used for smoothing intermediate calculations.
  • The document gives no entry rules or evidence of trading performance.
