Simple Harmonic Index: Trading Zero-Line Crossovers
Summary
The Simple Harmonic Index (SHI) is described as an indicator derived from the simple harmonic equation and associated with an article on time-cycle oscillators. The document gives a single trading rule based on the indicator’s zero line: a move from negative to positive is treated as a buy signal, while a move from positive to negative is treated as a sell signal. It interprets a positive reading as a period in which the bull cycle lengthens and price displacement increases.
No formula, parameter settings, chart, market, timeframe, or test results are supplied, so the description is not enough to reproduce or assess the indicator independently. It also does not explain how to handle whipsaws, exits beyond the reverse crossover, transaction costs, or risk. The rule is best understood as a basic directional signal description rather than evidence of a profitable strategy; its behavior and usefulness would need to be evaluated in the intended market and data context.
Key ideas
- The SHI is presented as an oscillator derived from a simple harmonic equation.
- A move above zero is interpreted as a buy signal.
- A move below zero is interpreted as a sell signal.
- The description provides no calculation details or empirical performance evidence.
