For Steve Karnish

Hi Steve,

I've been using your FibCMO to trade options on the QQQ for some time now and just wanted to say it's doing great. I put the buy line at -50 and it has been deadly accurate generating buy signals. The top line has been kinda iffy on generating sell signals but I'm working on refining that too. Went long Apr 206 calls yesterday and closed half at 216 for a good profit. The other half are now pretty cheap so I'll ride them for awhile.

Thanks again for a great indicator.
John Manasco

Ken,

It's the composite CMO discussed in Chandre's book [see p110+] Chandre showed that the average of 3 CMOs approximates a volatility-based CMO; he suggested periods of 5,10,20. Steve's FibCMO uses 3,5,8 [among others?] and optimized buy/sell levels. I've pasted my MS version below.

Bob

num1:=Sum(ROC(C,1,$),3);
den1:=Sum(Abs(ROC(C,1,$)),3);
CMO1:=num1/(den1 + .00001);
num2:=Sum(ROC(C,1,$),5);
den2:=Sum(Abs(ROC(C,1,$)),5);
CMO2:=num2/(den2 + .00001);
num3:=Sum(ROC(C,1,$),8);
den3:=Sum(Abs(ROC(C,1,$)),8);
CMO3:=num3/(den3 + .00001);
100*(CMO1 + CMO2 + CMO3)/3; -20; 60;

Looks like the fibs figured in Steve's terrific AMAT call today.

That is, the 8/13/21 CMO went from -17.5 to +4.3 today and the 3/5/8 from -71.6 to +2.0.

Bob

FWIW I decided ROC was just plain ugly and switched to Ref [pasted below].

Have applied your version of FibCMO to a few securities and so far it looks good...

thanks for the code Bob.
