Fisher Transform

by John Ehlers

 

 

The fisher transform indicator by John Ehlers is a range oscillator showing

where today's price is within the past N-days highest and lowest.

It has some smoothing, plus what's known in mathematics as a fisher transform.

 

The range position is similar to Stochastics and to Williams %R.

The fisher transformation stretches out values near the N-day high

and low to make large peaks so as to help highlight those extremes.

 

The calculation is as follows:

The prices used are the midpoint between the day's high and low (as in most of Ehlers' indicators).

Today's price is located within the highest and lowest of those midpoints from the past N days,

scaled to -1 for the low and 1 for the high.

 

     price = (high + low) / 2

                       price - Ndaylow
    raw = 2 * -----------------------     - 1
                   Ndayhigh - Ndaylow

 

This raw position is smoothed by a 5-day EMA (see Exponential Moving Average)

then a log form which is the fisher transform,

before a final further 3-day EMA smoothing.

 

     smoothed = EMA[5] of raw

                                       1 + smoothed
    fisher = EMA[3] of log ------------------
                                       1 - smoothed

 

The effect of the logarithm is to make “smoothed” values near 0 remain near there,

but values near 1 and -1 grow greatly, thus highlighting extremities.

A “smoothed” value of exactly +/-1 would transform to +/-infinity,

so a clamp of 0.999 is applied, effectively limiting the final result to about +/-7.5.

Hi Tams,

 

I have implemented this one some time ago for myself,

you know, in Java for evaluating LR angles.

Java, so it makes not much sense to post it here.

 

I haven't implemented the Fourier one (but have thought about it),

and I am impressed by your implementation (picture).

 

I also like Ehler's work, like others here.

 

But I have a question for you, with all my respect:

 

Which of your indicators are you using to trade?

 

 

Regards,

 

Hal

 

P.S.: I don't use all the indicators I have implemented during time, just a few have survived. And maybe these will die as well sooner or later.

      Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
