GBP Index vs CAD Index Currency Oscillator
GBP vs CAD Currency Oscillator
This custom oscillator compares the relative strength of GBP (British Pound) and CAD (Canadian Dollar) against a basket of other currencies to determine potential overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is designed to help traders evaluate momentum shifts and identify possible trend reversals between these two currencies, not just the GBPCAD pair.
How it Works:
Currency Index Calculation:
The oscillator calculates the average percentage change in 7 key GBP pairs (GBPUSD, EURGBP, GBPJPY, GBPAUD, GBPNZD, GBPCAD, and GBPCHF).
Similarly, it calculates the average percentage change for 7 key CAD pairs (USDCAD, EURCAD, CADJPY, AUDCAD, NZDCAD, GBPCAD, and CADCHF).
Stochastic Oscillator:
The indicator calculates a 0-100 oscillator for both the GBP and CAD currency indices based on the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period (default is 14 anlthough 60 works great on 1m chart).
The oscillator is smoothed using a simple moving average (default smoothing period is 3) to reduce noise and improve visual clarity.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: When both the GBP and CAD oscillators exceed 80, the background turns red, indicating potential overbought conditions.
Oversold: When both oscillators fall below 20, the background turns green, signaling possible oversold conditions.
Crossovers:
When the GBP oscillator crosses above the CAD oscillator, a green dot appears at the bottom of the chart, signaling potential GBP strength.
When the GBP oscillator crosses below the CAD oscillator, a red dot appears, signaling potential CAD strength.
How to Use:
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Use the red and green background highlights to spot potential overbought or oversold market conditions, helping you identify possible turning points.
Customization Options:
Lookback Period: You can adjust the lookback period for the stochastic calculation, allowing for sensitivity tuning (default: 14).
Smoothing Period: Control the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillators (default: 3).
This oscillator is ideal for traders focused on trading GBP and CAD pairs, offering a comparative analysis that can assist in better decision-making based on relative currency strength.
