Fisher Transform

fisher

Function Name: fisher

Tags: None

Category: Trend

Fisher Transform (FT) is based on the assumption that prices don't have a Gaussian probability density. When the trend changes the indicator reverses very sharply.

This indicator can be very useful for pinpointing entries for short-term trades. When the FT crosses above the signal line from below, it's a bullish signal and it's time to buy. When FT crosses below the signal line from above, it's a bearish signal and it's time to sell.
