TASC's March 2008 edition Traders' Tips includes an article by John Ehlers titled "Measuring Cycle Periods," and describes the use of bandpass filters to estimate the length, in bars, of the currently dominant price cycle. What are Dominant Cycles and Why should we use them? Even the most casual chart reader will be able to spot times when the market is...
Desc: The Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) is a charting indicator that is commonly used to identify market trends and provide buy and sell signals to traders. Developed in 1999 by noted currency trader Doug Schaff, STC is a type of oscillator and is based on the assumption that, regardless of time frame, currency trends accelerate and decelerate in cyclical...
STC + Zero Lag MACD (includes regular MACD also) What I added here was two other variables The Schaff Trend Cycle working with Zero Lag Macd to give you double confirmation on your Higher Time Frame entries such as 4H, 6H, and Daily. You may also turn on regular MACD instead of Zero Lag, if you'd like. ***Red Dot for Bear ***Green Dot for Bull ***Higher...
What is STC? This is an open source indicator but I added a few improvements to its code and a more friendly UI. The STC indicator is a forward-looking, leading indicator, that generates faster, more accurate signals than earlier indicators, such as the MACD because it considers both time (cycles) and moving averages. Like any chart indicator, the tool is best...
The Schaff Trend Cycle is a method, developed by Doug Schaff and based on the concept that trends also have repeating high and low patterns, or cycles. This is a modified MACD line, run through a modified stochastic algorithm and smoothed with Wilders’ smoothing in order to estimate the final Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) indicator. Its purpose is to identify the...
This is my cutting edge "Improved Schaff Trend Cycle Indicator" that I radically modified for all assets, not just Forex. Just when you may have thought it was the end of the evolutionary line for Schaff trend cycle indicators, it's not! It's actually two different modified Schaff trend cycle tandem algorithms combined making this a very versatile multicator....
This indicator was originally developed by Doug Schaff in the 1990s (published in 2008).
This is a modified Schaff Trend Cycle (STC), which is designed to provide quicker entries and exits. I've been a huge fan of the STC for a long time, but being based on the MACD means its signals often lag by a bar or two (especially in fast moving markets). All I've done here is take the base STC script (all credit to user @LazyBear), and change the source to a...
