Using the Rainbow Oscillator for Trend and Overbought Signals
Summary
The document describes an oscillator based on Mel Widner’s Rainbow Average, which it compares with the Guppy multiple moving average. Its main stated purpose is to indicate market trend. It also says the oscillator’s levels adjust with market conditions and can be used to judge whether the market may be overbought or oversold.
No formula, parameter settings, trading rules, chart examples, or performance evidence are included in the supplied text. As a result, it explains the intended interpretation of the indicator but does not show how to calculate or validate signals, or how to combine them with risk controls. The overbought and oversold readings should therefore be treated as a proposed use rather than demonstrated predictive evidence.
