📌 Based on

Edit
McClellan Oscillator = EMA_19(Net Advances) - EMA_39(Net Advances)
Where:

Net Advances = Number of advancing stocks - Number of declining stocks

Calculated from a fixed set of 40 IRUS stocks

🧭 What it shows
Above 0 → more stocks are rising: market is internally strong.

Below 0 → more stocks are falling: underlying weakness.

Rising from below -100 → oversold breadth, possible bullish reversal.

Falling from above +100 → overbought breadth, possible correction.

🎯 How to use it
1. Buy/Sell Signals
Buy: Oscillator drops below -100 and turns up → oversold, potential rally.

Sell: Oscillator rises above +100 and turns down → overbought, risk of pullback.

2. Trend Strength Confirmation
Sustained above 0 → confirms bullish trend.

Crosses below 0 → early warning of weakening market breadth.

3. Divergences with IRUS Price
IRUS rises, but Oscillator falls → narrowing leadership, bearish divergence.

IRUS falls, but Oscillator rises → improving breadth, bullish divergence.
