Using Color Changes in a Smoothed McClellan Oscillator

Summary

This indicator modification adds signal lines to a smoothed McClellan Oscillator. The stated motivation is that the original smoother can be difficult to use because it lacks obvious signals. The added lines are intended to make potential signals easier to identify.

The suggested use is to treat changes in the indicator’s color as signals. The document does not define what each color means, explain the signal-line calculation, or provide entry and exit rules. It also gives no charts, backtest, or performance evidence, so the color changes should be understood as a proposed visual cue rather than a demonstrated source of profitable trades.
