Harmonic Oscillator v1.0 Quick Reference

One-page cheat sheet for momentum consensus signals


🎯 The 4 Signal Types

Signal Color Vote Count Meaning
🟢 BULL Green 3+ votes Bullish momentum detected
🔴 BEAR Red 3+ votes Bearish momentum detected
⚪ NEUT Gray 0-2 votes Neutral - no clear momentum
⭐ STRONG Bright Green/Red 4-5 votes High-confidence momentum signal

📊 The 5 Voters

Voter What It Analyzes Signal Type
1. MACD Trend direction & crossovers Trend-following
2. RSI Triple envelope zones (7/14/28) Overbought/oversold
3. Stochastic RSI K/D crossovers in extreme zones Momentum extremes
4. Volume Volume delta patterns Volume confirmation
5. Divergence Price vs oscillator disagreement Reversal detection

⚡ Quick Interpretation Guide

Signal Strength

  • BULL (3 votes): Moderate bullish momentum - upward pressure present
  • BEAR (3 votes): Moderate bearish momentum - downward pressure present
  • STRONG BULL (4-5 votes): High-confidence bullish momentum - strong agreement
  • STRONG BEAR (4-5 votes): High-confidence bearish momentum - strong agreement
  • NEUT (0-2 votes): No consensus - momentum unclear, wait for clarity

Voting Patterns

  • All 5 voters agree: Rare, highest conviction signal
  • 4 voters agree: STRONG signal, very reliable
  • 3 voters agree: Standard signal, moderate confidence
  • 2 or fewer agree: NEUT - conflicting indicators, avoid trading

🤝 Best Combinations

With Pentarch

  • Pentarch TD + STRONG BULL = Early-cycle entry with momentum confirmation
  • Pentarch IGN + BULL = Markup phase with momentum alignment
  • Pentarch CAP + STRONG BEAR = Climax exhaustion with momentum reversal

Example: Pentarch TD + Harmonic STRONG BULL (5/5 votes) = Highest probability entry

With Janus Atlas

  • STRONG BULL at Daily/Weekly Low = Momentum + level support
  • STRONG BEAR at Daily/Weekly High = Momentum + level resistance
  • BULL signal bouncing from Janus level = Confirmed support test

With Volume Oracle

  • STRONG BULL + VBS+ = Momentum + volume confirmation
  • STRONG BEAR + VBS- = Downward momentum + selling volume
  • NEUT + volume spike = Wait for momentum clarity

⚙️ Recommended Settings

Aggressive Mode (More Signals)

  • Vote Threshold: 1-2 votes
  • Signals appear more frequently
  • Lower confidence, more false signals
  • Best for: Fast markets, scalping

Balanced Mode (Default)

  • Vote Threshold: 3 votes
  • Moderate signal frequency
  • Good balance of signals vs accuracy
  • Best for: Day trading, most timeframes

Conservative Mode (Fewer, Better Signals)

  • Vote Threshold: 4-5 votes (STRONG only)
  • Rare signals, highest confidence
  • Filter out everything except STRONG signals
  • Best for: Swing trading, position trading

⚠️ When NOT to Use

❌ Tight consolidation (oscillators give conflicting signals)
❌ Extreme news events (momentum shifts too quickly)
❌ Very low timeframes (<1m) - too much noise
❌ Low liquidity assets - erratic oscillator readings


🔧 Troubleshooting

"Always showing NEUT"
→ Normal during consolidation/choppy markets
→ Oscillators disagreeing = no clear momentum
→ Wait for stronger trend to develop

"Too many signals"
→ Switch to Conservative mode (STRONG only)
→ Increase vote threshold in settings
→ Use higher timeframe for fewer signals

"Signals not matching price action"
→ Momentum is lagging indicator (normal delay)
→ BULL can appear during pullbacks (overall trend still up)
→ Combine with Pentarch/Janus for context


📊 Timeframe Suitability

Timeframe Suitability Notes
1m-5m ⚠️ Noisy Use Aggressive mode, expect more whipsaws
15m ✅ Good Day trading, Balanced mode works well
1H ⭐ Best Day/swing trading, clearest momentum signals
4H ⭐ Best Swing trading, STRONG signals very reliable
Daily ✅ Excellent Position trading, highest-quality signals
Weekly ✅ Good Long-term, rare but high-conviction signals

🎯 Momentum Success Tips

  1. STRONG signals = Priority — 4-5 vote consensus most reliable
  2. NEUT = Wait — No consensus means no clear momentum
  3. Combine with cycle/levels — Momentum alone is not enough
  4. Watch for momentum shifts — BULL to NEUT to BEAR = trend change
  5. Vote count matters — 5/5 > 4/5 > 3/5 in reliability

📖 Key Concepts

Voting System: 5 independent oscillators vote on momentum direction
Consensus Threshold: 3+ votes = signal, 4-5 = STRONG
BULL/BEAR: Direction of momentum detected by voter consensus
NEUT: Insufficient agreement between voters (wait for clarity)
