The Projection Oscillator Metatrader 5 forex indicator is based on the Projection Bands custom MT5 indicator, and embeds into the former the ability to define the borders of price ranges.
Unlike the Project Bands indicator, the Projection Oscillator opens in a separate window with a display of overbought/oversold levels.
There are three key input parameters that are available:
- Period – defines the calculation period
- Overbought – defines the overbought level
- Oversold – defines the oversold level
Seemingly, the formula that explains the indicator is as follows:
- PO = 100 * (Close-DnBand) / (UpBand-DnBand)
- UpBand = Max(High, PrevHigh*SlopeHigh)
- DnBand = Min(Low, PrevLow*SlopeLow)
