DayImpuls T3 Oscillator for Trend and Strength

Article ProRealCode

Summary

DayImpuls T3 combines a DayImpuls measure with a T3 moving average to describe market direction and strength. The oscillator is built from the accumulated difference between open and close prices over a configurable period, then smoothed through a multi-stage T3 calculation. Values above zero indicate a relatively bullish condition, while values below zero indicate a relatively bearish one.

The indicator also plots the smoothed line, recent high and low values, and halfway channel lines. Its lookback for these extrema is selected from a small set according to the detected chart interval. The document provides the calculation logic and parameter defaults, but no backtest, performance evidence, or rules for entering and exiting trades. It is therefore a charting aid whose signals would need independent testing, and its timeframe handling is limited to the intervals explicitly covered by the code.

Key ideas

  • DayImpuls sums open-minus-close changes over a configurable lookback and reverses the sign of the result.
  • The resulting oscillator is smoothed with a T3 moving average to represent trend strength.
  • Values above zero are described as relatively bullish, while values below zero are relatively bearish.
  • Upper and lower bands use recent oscillator extremes, with lookback length selected by chart timeframe.
  • The document gives indicator logic but no evidence of trading performance.
