PivotBoss Oscillator (PBOsc)

PivotBoss Oscillator (PBOsc) – Description
The PivotBoss Oscillator (PBOsc) is a momentum-based indicator derived from the PivotBoss PEMA Method, designed to identify market bias, trend strength, and potential reversals across all timeframes and instruments.
Unlike traditional oscillators, PBOsc measures the differential among three pivot-based EMAs (fast, medium, and slow) relative to the pivot point (PP) of each bar, allowing it to self-adjust dynamically with current market volatility.
Calculation Logic
Pivot Point (PP):
𝑃
𝑃
=
(
𝐻

𝑔
ℎ
+
𝐿
𝑜
𝑤
+
𝐶
𝑙
𝑜
𝑠
𝑒
)
/
3
PP=(High+Low+Close)/3
Pivot-Based EMAs:
Fast PEMA = EMA(PP, fast length)
Medium PEMA = EMA(PP, medium length)
Slow PEMA = EMA(PP, slow length)
Differentials:
Diff1 = Fast PEMA − Slow PEMA
Diff2 = Medium PEMA − Slow PEMA
Diff3 = Fast PEMA − Medium PEMA
Oscillator Value:

PBOsc=(Diff1+Diff2+Diff3)/PP
Interpretation
Above Zero Line (0): Bullish bias; momentum favors the upside.
Below Zero Line (0): Bearish bias; momentum favors the downside.
Advancing Bars (Green): PBOsc rising → Strengthening trend or positive momentum.
Declining Bars (Red): PBOsc falling → Weakening trend or negative momentum.
Analytical Uses
Change of Bias: Detects short-term shifts in market sentiment.
Trending Markets: Measures pullbacks or continuations within ongoing trends.
Divergence: Divergence between price and PBOsc can signal potential reversals.
Default Settings
Default: (8, 13, 21)
Alternate Presets: (5, 8, 13), (13, 21, 34), (21, 34, 55)
