Ultimate Oscillator

Introduction

This indicator computes the Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC) The Ultimate Oscillator is calculated as explained here: http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:ultimate_oscillator

Using ULTOSC Indicator

To create an automatic indicators for UltimateOscillator, call the ULTOSC helper method from the QCAlgorithm class. The ULTOSC method creates a UltimateOscillator object, hooks it up for automatic updates, and returns it so you can used it in your algorithm. In most cases, you should call the helper method in the Initialize method.

public class UltimateOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;
    private UltimateOscillator _ultosc;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        _ultosc = ULTOSC("SPY", 5, 10, 20);
    }

    public override void OnData(Slice data)
    {
        if (_ultosc.IsReady)
        {
            Plot("UltimateOscillator", "ultosc", _ultosc);
        }
    }
}
class UltimateOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def Initialize(self) -> None:
        self.symbol = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol
        self.ultosc = self.ULTOSC("SPY", 5, 10, 20)

    def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        if self.ultosc.IsReady:
            self.Plot("UltimateOscillator", "ultosc", self.ultosc.Current.Value)

The following reference table describes the ULTOSC method:

ULTOSC()1/1

            UltimateOscillator QuantConnect.Algorithm.QCAlgorithm.ULTOSC (
    Symbol                                symbol,
    Int32                                 period1,
    Int32                                 period2,
    Int32                                 period3,
    *Nullable<Resolution>           resolution,
    *Func<IBaseData, IBaseDataBar>  selector
   )

Creates a new UltimateOscillator indicator.

If you don't provide a resolution, it defaults to the security resolution. If you provide a resolution, it must be greater than or equal to the resolution of the security. For instance, if you subscribe to hourly data for a security, you should update its indicator with data that spans 1 hour or longer.

For more information about the selector argument, see Alternative Price Fields.

For more information about plotting indicators, see Plotting Indicators.

You can manually create a UltimateOscillator indicator, so it doesn't automatically update. Manual indicators let you update their values with any data you choose.

Updating your indicator manually enables you to control when the indicator is updated and what data you use to update it. To manually update the indicator, call the Update method with a TradeBar, or QuoteBar. The indicator will only be ready after you prime it with enough data.

public class UltimateOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;
    private UltimateOscillator _ultosc;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        _ultosc = new UltimateOscillator(5, 10, 20);
    }

    public override void OnData(Slice data)
    {
        if (data.Bars.TryGeValue(_symbol, out var bar))
        {      
            _ultosc.Update(bar);
        }

        if (_ultosc.IsReady)
        {
            Plot("UltimateOscillator", "ultosc", _ultosc);
        }
    }
}
class UltimateOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def Initialize(self) -> None:
        self.symbol = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol
        self.ultosc = UltimateOscillator(5, 10, 20)

    def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        bar = data.Bars.get(self.symbol)
        if bar:
            self.ultosc.Update(bar)

        if self.ultosc.IsReady:
            self.Plot("UltimateOscillator", "ultosc", self.ultosc.Current.Value)

To register a manual indicator for automatic updates with the security data, call the RegisterIndicator method.

public class UltimateOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;
    private UltimateOscillator _ultosc;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        _ultosc = new UltimateOscillator(5, 10, 20);
        RegisterIndicator(_symbol, _ultosc, Resolution.Daily);
    }

    public override void OnData(Slice data)
    {
        if (_ultosc.IsReady)
        {
            Plot("UltimateOscillator", "ultosc", _ultosc);
        }
    }
}
class UltimateOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def Initialize(self) -> None:
        self.symbol = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol
        self.ultosc = UltimateOscillator(5, 10, 20)
        self.RegisterIndicator(self.symbol, self.ultosc, Resolution.Daily)

    def OnData(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        if self.ultosc.IsReady:
            self.Plot("UltimateOscillator", "ultosc", self.ultosc.Current.Value)

The following reference table describes the UltimateOscillator constructor:

UltimateOscillator()1/2

            UltimateOscillator QuantConnect.Indicators.UltimateOscillator (
    int  period1,
    int  period2,
    int  period3
   )

Initializes a new instance of the UltimateOscillato class using the specified parameters.

UltimateOscillator()2/2

            UltimateOscillator QuantConnect.Indicators.UltimateOscillator (
    string  name,
    int     period1,
    int     period2,
    int     period3
   )

Initializes a new instance of the UltimateOscillato class using the specified parameters.
