Release Notes
New Calculation Method for Oscillator:- The oscillator now resets every Saturday at 00:00 and calculates the gap size from the open of the first Saturday candle.
- This ensures the oscillator starts at 0 on the first Saturday candle and measures the change from this point onward, providing a more accurate reflection of weekly gaps.
Dynamic Band Calculation:
- Bands and dynamic extreme levels are now recalculated starting from the first Saturday candle.
- This dynamic adjustment ensures the bands reflect the most recent price action accurately.
Enhanced Table Display:
- []The table now displays both the current week's and the previous week's counts of oscillator crossings above the upper band and below the lower band.
[]This provides a comprehensive view of the oscillator's behavior across different weeks.
Updated Reset Logic:
- Counts for oscillator crossings are reset at the start of the CME week (Monday at 00:00) and on the first candle of Saturday.
- Previous week's counts are stored and displayed in the table for better comparison and analysis.
This update provides a more accurate and dynamic measure of price gaps on a weekly basis. The inclusion of previous week's data in the table helps traders compare and analyze weekly trends more effectively.
