Klinger Oscillator — Indicators and Strategies

Volume Flow Confluence Volume Flow Confluence (CMF-KVO Integration) Core Function: The Volume Flow Confluence Indicator combines two volume-analysis methods: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and the Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO). It displays a histogram only when both indicators align in their respective signals. Signal States: • Green Bars: CMF is positive (> 0) and KVO is above its signal line • Red Bars: CMF is negative (< 0) and KVO is below its signal line • No Bars: When indicators disagree Technical Components: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures the relationship between volume and price location within the trading range: • Calculates money flow volume using close position relative to high/low range • Aggregates and normalizes over specified period • Default period: 20 Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO): Evaluates volume in relation to price movement: • Tracks trend changes using HLC3 • Applies volume force calculation • Uses two EMAs (34/55) with a signal line (13) Practical Applications: 1. Signal Identification - New colored bars after blank periods show new agreement between indicators - Color intensity differentiates new signals from continuations - Blank spaces indicate lack of agreement 2. Trend Analysis - Consecutive colored bars show continued indicator agreement - Transitions between colors or to blank spaces show changing conditions - Can be used alongside other technical analysis tools 3. Risk Considerations - Signals are not predictive of future price movement - Should be used as one of multiple analysis tools - Effectiveness may vary across different markets and timeframes Technical Specifications: Core Algorithm CMF = Σ(((C - L) - (H - C))/(H - L) × V)n / Σ(V)n KVO = EMA(VF, 34) - EMA(VF, 55) Where VF = V × |2(dm/cm) - 1| × sign(Δhlc3) Signal Line = EMA(KVO, 13) Signal Logic Long: CMF > 0 AND KVO > Signal Short: CMF < 0 AND KVO < Signal Neutral: All other conditions Parameters CMF Length = 20 KVO Fast = 34 KVO Slow = 55 KVO Signal = 13 Volume = Regular/Actual Volume Data Requirements Price Data: OHLC Volume Data: Required Minimum History: 55 bars Recommended Timeframe: ≥ 1H Credits: • Marc Chaikin - Original CMF development • Stephen Klinger - Original KVO development • Alex Orekhov (everget) - CMF script implementation • nj_guy72 - KVO script implementation

[SK] Custom Klinger Oscillator This Custom Klinger Oscillator allows you to change the time frames for the Force Volume and Signal calculations to use instead of it's default values. Although the default Fibonacci values ( 34, 55 and 13 ) provide exceptional signals, you can now explore using lower Fibonacci numbers and get faster signals for your own adventures in the market. This indicator adds conditional coloring of the Klinger line when over / under the signal along with a transparent fill cloud between both lines colored by the same condition. You can change colors to your preference on the style configurations. -- Below is more information on the KIinger Oscillator from investopedia: Interpretations for Price Direction The Klinger Oscillator is fairly complex to calculate, but it's based on the idea of force volume, which accounts for volume, trend (positive or negative), and temp (based on multiple inputs and if/then statements). Using this data, the oscillator is created by looking at the difference between two exponential moving averages of force volume involving different time frames (typically 34 and 55). The idea is to show how the volume flowing through the securities is impacting its long-term and short-term price direction. The Signal Line A signal line (13-period moving average) is used to trigger buy or sell signals. This technique is very similar to signals that are created with other indicators such as the moving average convergence divergence (MACD). While these are the basic signals generated by these indicators, it's important to note that these techniques may generate a lot of trading signals that may not be as effective in sideways markets. The Uptrend When an asset is in an overall uptrend—such as when it is above its 100-period moving average and the Klinger is above zero or moving above zero—traders could buy when the Klinger oscillator moves above the signal line from below. Klinger noted that when a stock was in an uptrend, and then dropped to unusually low levels below zero, and then moved above its signal line, this was a favorable long position to take. The Downtrend When an asset is in an overall downtrend, traders could sell or short-sell when the Klinger oscillator moves below the signal line from above. Klinger noted this was especially noteworthy when the indicator had seen an uncharacteristic spike above zero. The zero line is also used by some traders to mark the transition from an uptrend to downtrend, or vice versa. While such signals won't always agree with price movements, a move above zero helps confirm a rising price, while a drop below zero helps confirm a falling price. Klinger Oscillator and Divergence The Klinger oscillator also uses divergence to identify when the indicator's inputs are not confirming the direction of the price move. It's a bullish sign when the value of the indicator is heading upward while the price of the security continues to fall. It is a bearish signal when the price is rising but the indicator is falling. Divergence can be coupled with signal line crossovers to generate trades. For example, if a bearish divergence forms, a sell or short-sell could be initiated the next time the Klinger crosses below the signal line.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Klinger Volume Oscillator This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy The Klinger Oscillator (KO) was developed by Stephen J. Klinger. Learning from prior research on volume by such well-known technicians as Joseph Granville, Larry Williams, and Marc Chaikin, Mr. Klinger set out to develop a volume-based indicator to help in both short- and long-term analysis. The KO was developed with two seemingly opposite goals in mind: to be sensitive enough to signal short-term tops and bottoms, yet accurate enough to reflect the long-term flow of money into and out of a security. The KO is based on the following tenets: Price range (i.e. High - Low) is a measure of movement and volume is the force behind the movement. The sum of High + Low + Close defines a trend. Accumulation occurs when today's sum is greater than the previous day's. Conversely, distribution occurs when today's sum is less than the previous day's. When the sums are equal, the existing trend is maintained. Volume produces continuous intra-day changes in price reflecting buying and selling pressure. The KO quantifies the difference between the number of shares being accumulated and distributed each day as "volume force". A strong, rising volume force should accompany an uptrend and then gradually contract over time during the latter stages of the uptrend and the early stages of the following downtrend. This should be followed by a rising volume force reflecting some accumulation before a bottom develops. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.

Klinger Safety Zones This indicator is based on the Klinger Volume Oscillator, or KVO. The KVO is pretty cool since it can track long-term changes in money flow (both into and out of a market), as well as respond and predict short term price fluctuations. The Klinger Oscillator determines the direction (or trend) of money flow based on the high, low, and closing price of the security. It then compares all three values (HLC/3) to the previous period’s values to determine how volume should be factored into the KVO. If the current period’s price is greater than that of the previous period, then volume is added. It is subtracted, however, if the price is less than the previous period. This utilization of volume is what makes it an accurate tracker of money flow and a valuable confirmation indicator. This value is often called volume force or the “trend” line. A fast and slow EMA of the volume force are then calculated. The fast EMA has a smaller window length, while the slow EMA has a larger window. Traders can adjust the lengths of each EMA in the input option menu, but we chose the standard 55 and 34 period lengths as the default settings. We are finally left with the actual KVO value after subtracting the slow EMA from the fast EMA. The Klinger Oscillator uses a signal line similar to the MACD and many other indicators. The default length for it is 13, but that length can also be adjusted in the input menu. A shorter length will result in more responsiveness but possibly more false signals and whipsaws. The Chart and Interpretation: The histogram shows the KVO series. Remember, since the Oscillator represents the difference between the fast and slow EMA, the KVO is bullish when it is greater than zero and bearish when it is less than zero. When the KVO is greater than zero, the background on the chart is green, meaning that the trend is bullish and traders should look to go long. On the flip side, the background is red when the KVO is less than zero meaning traders should look to go short. The aqua line plotted on top of the histogram is the signal line. Here is a quick summary of the histogram colors: (if KVO > 0 and KVO > signal) then (color = teal) if (KVO > 0 and KVO < signal) then (color = lime) if (KVO < 0 and KVO < signal) then (color = red) if (KVO < 0 and KVO > signal) then (color = pink) Users can choose to have the candles change color to match the KVO histogram color by adjusting the setting in the input menu. ~Happy (and safe) trading~

Volume Impact Volume Impact (The area) Average Volume (The thick line, xTrigger) Volume Impact = Volume Chance - Average Volume It provides very reliable buy sell signals. Buy(green) when increasing, sell(red) when decreasing. Volume Impact might drop before the actual price so it has an early warning potential. Before trend changes volume average diverges from the prices. It moves reverse to the prices. Also before trend changes, volume impact peaks diverges from price peaks. So you know a big drop is coming. Klinger Volume Oscillator inspired this indicator... This data is there but it is more difficult to interpret. In summary, you can foresee trend changes.

Colored Klinger Volume Oscillator (CKVO)This is a color enhanced version of Klinger Volume Oscillator. I specially designed this to get maximum profit from highly volatile coins. This indicator is based on volume. xTrigger (the line) shows if trend is bullish or bearish. It is the average of the area. You can clearly see the trend. xKVO (the area) shows how buy and sell orders change. It rises while buys are increasing against sells, decreases while sells are increasing against buys. The color or the area provides buy and sell signals. Green: buy. Red: sell. Gray: Undecided. Of course there are false signals. You should use other indicators to confirm them. I like to use RSI and Bollinger Bands along with it to eliminate false signals. Also check for double bottom and top, etc. Its wise to check the general direction of coin using a bigger time frame using Heikin Aishi. For example 1W Heikin Ashi if you are trading on 1D. In addition to buy signals the most important indication is divergence with the price. Before a trend change 2 kinds of divergences happen - Trend line moves reverse to the price line - Are a tops moves revers to the price tops. For example while there is a higher price top, there is a lower area top. Then its time to escape. Motivation It is common to suffer from failures while trading highly profitable but volatile coins like NULLS, REP, DLT, LRC, MFT, HOT, OAX, KEY, etc. - Traders sell too early to ensure a profit. Sell at 10% and it goes 200% - Traders buy too early. Traders buy and it drops yet another 50% - Wrong patience. The trader keeps the faith and waits for days for the glorious days. And nothing happens. I believe with this indicator I am able to solve those problems most of the time.
