Rainbow Oscillator

[eSignal]

File Name: RnbwOsc.efs

Description:
Rainbow Oscillator

Formula Parameters:
Length : 2
Levels : 10
Source of Price : Close


Notes:
Mel Widner introduced a colorful technique for plotting an indicator to
signal trend changes. The indicator is derived from a consensus of trends
that, when plotted in color, has the appearance of a rainbow.
