The swing strength indicator measures market price swings to determine the oversold/overbought condition of the market. Using a proprietary formula the indicator ranks price swings between oversold and overbought on a scale from -5 to 5 based on the potential of a swing reversal. The higher the number the more the market is overbought and likely to drop over the next few days, and the lower the number the more oversold the market is and likely to rise in the next few days.
The swing strength indicator is best applied to indices and stocks and uses daily price data to rank the market each day.
The swing strength formula has been incorporated into a set of indicators for TradeStation which can calculate and display the swing strength value for a market within a chart or RadarScreen or be used to scan multiple markets to identify oversold and overbought markets.
Included with the swing strength indicator is a swing strength strategy, a mechanical trading system which is 100% systematic using clear and simple rules to help demonstrate the indicators application. The swing strength trading system uses the swing strength indicator combined with standard indicators to identify high probability swing trading opportunities. More details and performance data on the swing strength strategies can be found further down the page or by clicking here.
