Awesome Oscillator PlusThe Awesome Oscillator is an indicator used to measure market momentum. AO calculates the difference of a 34 Period and 5 Period Simple Moving Averages. The Simple Moving Averages that are used are not calculated using closing price but rather each bar's midpoints. AO is generally used to affirm trends or to anticipate possible reversals.
The Awesome Oscillator's saucer is a trading signal that many analysts use to identify potential rapid changes in momentum. The saucer strategy involves looking for changes in three consecutive bars that are on the same side of the zero line.
AO's saucers can be either bullish or bearish. A bullish saucer can be identified when the awesome oscillator is above the zero line and there are two consecutive red bars – with the second bar being lower than the first – which are followed by a green bar.
On the other hand, a bearish saucer can be identified by two consecutive green bars below the zero line – with the second bar being lower than the first – which are immediately followed by a red bar.
Bullish saucer = Background and green arrow
Bearish saucer = Background and red arrow
Alerts can be triggered when a bullish or bearish saucer occurs.
