Trigonometric On Balance Volume (OBV) OscillatorLove volume analysis but it's hard for you to implement a simple strategy by it?
Use OBV.
Is OBV still not quite as it should be for you to get it in your trading system?
Use OBV Oscillator.
Does OBV Oscillator give you too many false signals and when you smooth it, it lags by a ton?
Then this indicator is the answer to your problem.
Introducing the Trigonometric OBV Oscillator.
The Trigonometric OBV Oscillator or "Trig OBV" for short, uses an old, but uniquely extremely reliable mathematical formula to smooth the OBV, while eliminating more than 95% of its false signals (noises) and keeping with the real direction of the trend without introducing any lags.
It is very responsive, predictive even to some degree, very reliable, and keeps you out of false trades (like false breakouts, sudden changes in the price, etc).
To go long: wait until the white line crosses up the purple line and continues in that direction.
To go short: wait until the white line crosses down the blue line and continues in that direction.
To exit, do the opposite.
Better to be used with a baseline filter such as Kaufman's moving average.
Use it and let me know what you think about it.

IIR Least-Squares EstimateIntroduction
Another lsma estimate, i don't think you are surprised, the lsma is my favorite low-lag filter and i derived it so many times that our relationship became quite intimate. So i already talked about the classical method, the line-rescaling method and many others, but we did not made to many IIR estimate, the only one was made using a general filter estimator and was pretty inaccurate, this is why i wanted to retry the challenge.
Before talking about the formula lets breakdown again what IIR mean, IIR = infinite impulse response, the impulse response of an IIR filter goes on forever, this is why its infinite, such filters use recursion, this mean they use output's as input's, they are extremely efficient.
The Calculation
The calculation is made with only 1 pole, this mean we only use 1 output value with the same index as input, more poles often means a transition band closer to the cutoff frequency.
Our filter is in the form of :
y = a*x+y - a*ema(y,length/2)
where y = x when t = 1 and y(1) when t > 2 and a = 4/(length+2)
This is also an alternate form of exponential moving average but smoothing the last output terms with another exponential moving average reduce the lag.
Comparison
Lets see the accuracy of our estimate.
Sometimes our estimate follow better the trend, there isn't a clear result about the overshoot/undershoot response, sometimes the estimate have less overshoot/undershoot and sometime its the one with the highest.
The estimate behave nicely with short length periods.
Conclusion
Some surprises, the estimate can at least act as a good low-lag filter, sometimes it also behave better than the lsma by smoothing more. IIR estimate are harder to make but this one look really correct.
