Follow my cTrader Telegram group at https://t.me/cTraderCommunity; everyone can talk about cTrader indicators and algorithm without restrictions, though it is not allowed to spam commercial indicators to sell them.

This is Martin Pring's Special K, a timing indicator made of 12 different price ROCs, every one with a particular smoothing.

In this version, every ROCs' period is tunable, as well as every ROCs' multiplier and smoothing. There is also a setting for the final smoothing of the result, the signal line period and every smoothing has a parameter for the type of moving average to use.
