DiNapoli Trendless Oscillator: Price Deviation from Its Moving Average

Summary

The Trendless oscillator is described as an addition to Fibonacci-based decision tools associated with Joe DiNapoli, and as a possible standalone trading aid. Its value is the applied price minus its simple moving average over a configurable period. Users can set the applied price, period, and overbought and oversold thresholds; the document cautions that settings should be chosen for each asset.

The indicator can be shown as a line or a color-coded histogram. The histogram colors bars according to the oscillator’s position relative to its configured levels, with additional reference levels at 0.6 and 0.8 times the entered level values. The document explains the formula and display options but provides no trading entry or exit rules, market examples, or performance results. It therefore leaves interpretation and asset-specific validation to the user.

Key ideas

• The oscillator measures the applied price’s deviation from its simple moving average.
• Its calculation period and applied price are configurable.
• Overbought and oversold thresholds should be selected for each asset.
• The display can use a line or a color-coded histogram with additional fractional levels.
• The description provides no performance evidence or complete trading rules.
