Murray Math Oscillator: Price Position Within a Rolling Range

Summary

The Murray Math Oscillator is described as a market-direction indicator built from a closing price’s position relative to a rolling high-low range. It uses the highest and lowest prices over a chosen period to define the range, then adjusts the midpoint with a multiplier before scaling the close-to-midpoint difference by that range. Its inputs are the lookback period, the multiplier, and an option to display Murray levels.

The display changes the oscillator column color when it reaches another Murray level, providing a visual cue about its level. The document defines the calculation but gives no trading rules, examples, backtest evidence, or guidance on interpreting signals. Its usefulness therefore depends on additional context and testing; the formula alone does not establish predictive value or specify how to enter or exit a position.

Key ideas

• The oscillator scales the close’s difference from an adjusted midpoint by the rolling high-low range.
• The rolling period determines the high and low used in the calculation.
• A multiplier adjusts the midpoint, and a setting controls whether Murray levels are displayed.
• The column color changes as the oscillator reaches different Murray levels.
• The document provides no entry rules, exit rules, or evidence that the indicator predicts market direction.
