The SMI Ergodic Indicator is the same as the True Strength Index (TSI) developed by
William Blau, except the SMI includes a signal line. The SMI uses double moving averages
of price minus previous price over 2 time frames. The signal line, which is an EMA of the
SMI, is plotted to help trigger trading signals. Adjustable guides are also given to fine
tune...

This updates Blau's excellent Candlestick oscillator to be adaptive by using the length of a scaled stochastic indicator and an exponent (for calculating the smoothing coefficient) to obtain the moving average.

We call this one the ECO for short, but it will be listed on the indicator list
at W. Blau’s Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator. The ECO is a momentum indicator.
It is based on candlestick bars, and takes into account the size and direction
of the candlestick "body". We have found it to be a very good momentum indicator,
and especially smooth,...
This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book
"Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more,
we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects
of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical
engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines...
