Vostro Oscillator Signals from Price Extremes

Article ProRealCode

Summary

The Vostro indicator is presented as a potential turning-point tool intended for scalping. It marks overbought readings above +80 and oversold readings below −80. Its stated long setup occurs after the oscillator falls below the lower threshold and forms a trough; its short setup follows a move above the upper threshold and a peak. The notes describe these as possible trend reversals.

The accompanying indicator logic derives normalized high and low readings from recent price ranges and compares price with a long moving average. It emits extreme positive or negative signals under those conditions, then suppresses repeated signals when the extreme persists across bars. Two lookback settings are described for scalping and non-scalping use. The page offers no backtest, market-specific evidence, or risk rules, and says the description was gathered from the web and adapted from another platform's code.

Key ideas

  • The indicator identifies potential turning points using upper and lower oscillator thresholds.
  • A long signal is associated with a trough below the lower threshold, while a short signal follows a peak above the upper threshold.
  • Its calculation combines recent price ranges with a moving-average comparison.
  • Repeated extreme readings are suppressed when they persist across consecutive bars.
  • The document gives no performance evidence or risk-management guidance.
