Detrended Synthetic Price Oscillator from Moving Average Differences
Summary
The Detrended Synthetic Price oscillator is described as a way to display price movement after removing a trend component. Its calculation uses the difference between an exponential moving average and a half-period moving average. The result is intended to emphasize shorter-term movement relative to the broader trend represented by the averages.
The indicator has three configurable inputs: the half-period moving average length, the moving average calculation method, and the applied price series. The description does not specify a signal threshold, interpretation rules, or how to combine the oscillator with other indicators. It also provides no charts, backtest, or performance evidence, so it explains the construction at a high level without showing whether it offers a trading edge.
Key ideas
- The oscillator aims to show price movement with the trend component removed.
- It is calculated from the difference between an EMA and a half-period moving average.
- Users can set the half-period length, averaging method, and applied price.
- The description does not give signal rules or evidence of trading performance.
