Sine Swing Oscillator

324
The Sine Swing Oscillator (SSO) is a custom momentum indicator that transforms price movement into a sine-based oscillator ranging from -1 to +1. It does this by measuring the deviation of the current price from a reference price, which is updated at fixed bar intervals. The price deviation is normalized using the Average True Range (ATR) over the same interval, then mapped through a sine transformation to create a bounded oscillator. This transformation helps identify cyclical price behavior in a consistent range.

The resulting sine values are smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA), and a signal line is derived by applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the smoothed oscillator. Traders can use signal line crossovers, or moves through the zero line, to help identify potential entry or exit signals based on cyclical momentum shifts.

The oscillator and signal line are plotted in a separate pane, with user-configurable smoothing lengths and colors. The zero line is also included for reference.
