Projection Oscillator: Projected Bands and Overbought or Oversold Levels

Summary

The Projection Oscillator adapts Projection Bands into an oscillator displayed in a separate chart window. It uses a calculation period and user-set overbought and oversold levels to help interpret where the closing price lies within the projected band range. The document describes the upper and lower bands as extrema based on high and low prices adjusted by their respective regression slopes over the selected period.

The oscillator scales the close’s position between the lower and upper bands to a percentage. This supplies a price-relative reading that can be compared with the configured threshold levels. The note gives the calculation concept but no worked example, parameter guidance, trading rules, or performance evidence. It also does not explain behavior when the bands coincide or how the levels should be interpreted across instruments and timeframes. Treat it as an indicator description rather than a tested strategy.

Key ideas

• The indicator displays a Projection Bands based oscillator in a separate window.
• It uses a selected period and configurable overbought and oversold thresholds.
• The upper and lower bands incorporate regression slopes of highs and lows.
• The oscillator expresses the close’s location within the projected band range as a percentage.
• The document provides no trading rules or performance evidence.
