A variation

Simba mentioned lognormal, so I decided to make a little experiment

_________________________

This one is a variation to a sigmoidal version but the difference is that it does not use zero mean calculation of a value but a simple logarithm of a cfb value. Results are interesting. If a regular "logistic" sigmoidal normalization formula is used, than, since cfb values are > 0, it leaves a gap in the range of 0 to 0.5. But, with a simple little trick by applying hyperbolic formula, it is shifted down, and it becomes "usable" for the purpose.

Problem to solve : cfb values in the range of 0 to +1 (they are rare, but can happen) are causing negative logarithm values which can, in some cases, cause huge deformations, Cfb values > 1 are treated rather correctly and the slope is preserved in much more cases than the zero mean or original sigmoidal way

_________________________

PS: just realized that the cfb values of 0 to +1 will produce values that converge to 0 in the hyperbolic version of calculation, so, that problem does not exist. This one is definitely a good candidate to use in adaptive indicators

Composite fractal behavior adaptive velocity updated (code is updated, but also is is using the updated cfb - the cfb nmc indicator from this post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179686/page13 which you need for this indicator to adapt) : velocity_cfb_adaptive_nmc.mq4

Velocity cfb adaptive

Well, continuing here too __________________________

Velocity that uses cfb for changing / adapting it's length. The velocity itself is a smoothed momentum indicator and can be used as a signal indicator (a clear "zero cross" signal is rather good) Cfb adaptive has a goal of getting those zero crosses faster than the regular velocity

__________________________

Attaching here the velocity indicator itself (this is a bit different variation of it) and a comparison of velocity to momentum indicator :

The "cfb adaptive" differs in one essential parameter : it does not have a Length parameter but it rather has a LowLimit and HighLimit. It means that the length will vary between LowLimit and HighLimit depending on the current state of the cfb used for it.

Here is a comparison of a regular 30,5,Close velocity and a 20,40,5,Close (the rest is default) adaptive velocity (as a case when we can "compare" the 2). From even a quick look, we can conclude 2 things : 1- it is not a "middle of the range" case (just see the differences) and 2 - in some situations it gives dramatically faster crosses.

or with cfb depth set to 1 (so the fastest cfb)

PS: this indicator needs the cfb indicator from the first post in order to work

trendick,

As any good discussion (and I mean discussion not "discussion") some fruits must come from it. One more : multi time frame version of CFB. Try it out.

Just one additional parameter : Interpolate - to interpolate or not to interpolate the mtf ___________________

Composite fractal behavior channel new with updated to avoid one compiling warning : cfb_channel_new_nmc.mq4

Original was posted here : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179686/page2

 

New metatrader 4 versions of cfb and cfb channel

These versions are lighter on your PC (since they are single instance indicators now - you will notice the difference on time frame or symbols change especially) and are somewhat simplified as far as code is concerned. Also, implicit "infinite length stochastic" is removed from this version of the cfb channel indicator (and all the pitfalls that come with "infinite length stochastic" are removed that way)

Composite fractal behavior channel new - separate window, also updated : cfb_channel_new_-_separate_nmc.mq4

And this one is asked for by Flytox at this post : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179807/page39 but I am posting it here since it belongs to the cfb family of indicators

It is the "separate" window version with zero binding and oscillator normalization option. Here is how it compares to regular cfb channel
