Oscillator (OSCILLATOR)

QuantNexus indicator page for acceleration-based oscillator movement.

Route: /quantnexus/indicators/oscillator/

What It Does

OSCILLATOR tracks trend acceleration using an acceleration-factor model with configurable step and cap values.

Formula

The oscillator updates a running value using period, af, and afmax to control the rate of change and maximum acceleration.

Parameters

• period - default 2
• af - default 0.02
• afmax - default 0.2

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/oscillator.hpp>
auto osc = std::make_unique<nonabt::OSCILLATOR>(data().close(), 2, 0.02, 0.2);

Common Usage

• Use it to track trend acceleration and possible reversals.
• Pair it with a price cross or a directional filter.
• Best used as a confirmation layer, not a standalone trigger.
