Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues.
Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator.
As the formula reveals, the McClellan Oscillator is a momentum indicator that works similar to MACD .
McClellan Oscillator signals can be generated with breadth thrusts, centerline crossovers, overall levels and divergences.
The original code was written by LazyBear ( code here: www.tradingview.com/...Oscillator-LazyBear/)
We have modified this code:
1. Added the ability to display and configure the overbought and undersold lines which are key to properly using this indicator. These are set to default +40 and -75 respectively.
2. This version uses USI:ADV(advances- issues) and USI:DECL (declines - issues) as the default.
