The closes
The detrended oscillator
The 20-bar detrended price oscillator is -10.54. The close 11 bars ago is below the 20-bar average. It crossed below zero on the last bar.
- The numbers
- The close 11 bars ago was 2,332.10 and the 20-bar average is 2,342.64. The oscillator last peaked 1 bar ago, at +0.44, and last bottomed 4 bars ago, at -21.08.
- How it is read
- With the trend taken out, what is left are the short swings. Many traders count the bars from one peak to the next to judge how long a swing lasts.
- Read it with care
- It looks back on purpose: the latest value describes the close 11 bars ago, so it is not a signal for the next bar. Rhythms change and do not have to repeat.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Swings without the trend
A rising market lifts every oscillator, so the swings inside the trend are hard to see. The detrended price oscillator takes the close from half a period back and subtracts the moving average over the whole period. The trend falls out; the ups and downs around it stay, and the gaps between their peaks show how long a swing lasts.
