Description & Settings
The SMI Ergodic Oscillator indicator displays the difference between the and its exponentially smoothed signal line.
It has three adjustable parameters:
Long Length
- primary smoothing period for TSI calculation
Short Length
- secondary smoothing period for TSI calculation.
Signal Line Length
- period of signal line smoothing for SMI calculation.

Similarly, when the oscillator is above zero level for a long time and then crosses it from top to bottom, it indicates a favourable moment to open a short position.
