Forecast Oscillator Indicator

The Forecast Oscillator for MT5 is a powerful technical analysis tool that helps traders predict potential price movements using time series analysis and linear regression. Unlike traditional regression channel indicators, this oscillator provides a signal line and an SMA, allowing traders to compare current prices with forecasted values. By doing so, it generates actionable buy and sell signals along with entry, exit, and overbought/oversold information.

This indicator is suitable for both new and experienced traders, providing a visual and statistical approach to forecasting price trends in the Forex market. Its unique ability to analyze the relationship between the actual price and predicted values makes it an indispensable tool for intraday and swing trading.

How the Forecast Oscillator Works

Time Series Forecast Using Linear Regression

The core of the indicator is linear regression, which analyzes the upper and lower bounds of an existing trend. The oscillator calculates a forecasted value based on past price data and compares it to the current closing price. This difference is expressed as a percentage, helping traders understand whether the price is moving in line with its expected trend or diverging.

Signal Line and SMA

The Forecast Oscillator plots two primary lines:

Signal line: Highlights buy and sell opportunities based on divergence from the forecast.

SMA line: Smooths the forecast to filter noise and enhance signal clarity.

This combination allows traders to monitor both short-term deviations and overall trend direction.

Trading Signals

Buy Signals

A buy signal occurs when:

The oscillator stays above the zero line

A blue dot appears on the chart

This indicates a potential upward movement, suggesting traders consider opening long positions or holding existing bullish trades.

 Sell Signals

A sell signal occurs when:

The oscillator remains below the zero line

A purple dot appears

This signals a potential downtrend, allowing traders to anticipate market reversals or exit long positions safely.

 Overbought and Oversold Levels

The oscillator also highlights overbought and oversold conditions, helping traders identify areas where the market may be reversing. These levels provide additional confirmation for entering or exiting trades.
