Dynamic Trader Oscillator: A Stochastic RSI Construction
Summary
The Dynamic Trader Oscillator (DTOSC) is presented as a smoothed Stochastic RSI indicator attributed to Robert Miner. The document gives four parameter sets, ranging from faster to slower settings, and an example using the 13/8/5/5 configuration. It calculates RSI, rescales it against its recent high and low, then applies two successive moving averages to produce the oscillator lines.
The example also plots fixed upper and lower reference levels at 75 and 25. These provide context for interpreting oscillator readings, but the document does not define trading rules for crossings, overbought or oversold signals, or position management. It offers no performance evidence, asset class, or testing method, so the indicator should be treated as a calculation description rather than a validated strategy. The author says the code was found elsewhere and does not claim authorship of the DTOSC implementation.
Key ideas
- DTOSC begins by calculating RSI and normalizing it against its recent range.
- Two successive moving averages create the plotted oscillator lines.
- The document lists four parameter sets, including a 13/8/5/5 example.
- Upper and lower reference levels are set at 75 and 25.
- No entry rules or performance evidence are provided.
