Darin hat er empirisch für den Zeitraum von 1990 bis 2010 die Aussagekraft von 5 Momentumoszillatoren untersucht:
...
(Setup 1) RSI(2) : the 2-day Relative Strength Index
(Setup 2) CCI(4) the 4-day Commodity Channel Index
(Setup 3) %R(2) : the 2-day Williams %R
(Setup 4) UltOsc(1, 2, 4) : 1-day, 2-day and 4-day Ultimate Oscillator
(Setup 5) DVSSDSO(3, 2, 0.55) : 3-day time frame, 2-day time frame (for the computation of the average for the first smoothing), and a smoothing factor of 0.55 for the DV Super Smoothed Double Stochastic Oscillator
...

The Ultimate Oscillator may have owned the title of the best-performing all-rounder among those evaluated momentum oscillators listed above, showing superior results on the long and short side of the market likewise with a high accuracy of forecasting a short-term mean reversion tendency of the underlying index on both sides of the market, while David Varadi’s DV Super Smoothed Double Stochastic Oscillator (with deviating time frames and smoothing factor) shows by far the highest quality of forecast (and performance stats) with respect to those market conditions regularly marked as ‘heavily oversold‘, profitably timing a short-term bottom.
At least with respect to the 10th and 5th percentiles, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) (may be due to the fact that a 2- or 3-day time frame is not really applicable) almost always significantly under-performed in any of those percentiles (and with respect to the assessment criteria defined) in comparison to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the Ultimate Oscillator, the Williams %R and David Varadi’s DV Super Smoothed Double Stochastic Oscillator.
Surprisingly the popular Relative Strength Index (RSI) was only able to keep up with the Ultimate Oscillator with respect to going long on the bottom 10th percentile, but significantly under-performed (to say the least) both the Williams %R and the Ultimate Oscillator on the short side of the market when the respective indicator closed in the top 5th and 10th percentile of the then current range of indicator values, vainly trying to gauge a short-term market top. Relatively high 2-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) values are – at maximum – indicative of limited upside potential on the then following session, being highly indicative of a continuation of the then current uptrend after a short (and regularly mild) pullback (see my posting ‘Overbought’ w/strong Uptrend), but not very helpful (to say the least) for timing the markets on the short side.
