Sharpen Your Trading with the Fisher Transform Presented by John Ehlers

Technical Analysis is Based on Probability “The market is oversold because the Stochastic has been high, so when it crosses through 80 then......” “When the head-and-shoulders pattern is complete then......” “When the market breaks above the upper channel then......” Let’s attack probability directly Why fool around with rules?

Gaussian Probability Distribution Function is Commonly Assumed for Market Data Gaussian PDF CumulativeGaussian PDF 0 = 50% +1  = 85% +2  = 98% +3  = 99.9% Gaussian PDF is attractive because it can be achieved using several random variables due to the central limit theorem But is Gaussian the right PDF for market data?

The PDF Depends on the Market Waveshape Square Wave Sine Wave PDF Sine Wave Binary PDF of Square Wave

How Do We Determine the Market PDF? Create the waveform by stringing beads on a horizontal wire frame Rotate wire frame to enable beads to stack up Height of the bead stacks is the PDF of the Waveform

Code to Generate PDF Inputs:Price((H+L)/2), Len(10); Vars:MaxH(0), MinL(0), count(0), I(0); Arrays:PDF[100](0); MaxH = Price; MinL = Price; For count = 0 to Len - 1 begin If Price[count] > MaxH then MaxH = Price[count]; If Price[count] < MinL then MinL = Price[count]; End; Value1 =.5*((Price - MinL)/(MaxH - MinL)) +.5*Value1[1]; For I = 0 to 100 begin If Value1 >= I/100 and Value1 < I/ then PDF[I] = PDF[I] + 1; End; If LastBarOnChart then begin For I = 0 to 100 begin Print(File("C:\TSGrowth\USPDF.CSV"), I/100, ",", PDF[I]); End;

The Fisher Transform

The Purpose of the Fisher Transform is to Change Values that Result In a Gaussian PDF The Fisher Transform Equation The Fisher Transform Transfer Response is Expansive The Fisher Transform inputs must be limited between -1 and +1

Sinewave PDF is Converted To Be Nearly Gaussian by the Fisher Transform

Fisher Transform Code Inputs:Price((H+L)/2), Len(10); Vars:MaxH(0), MinL(0), count(0), Fish(0); MaxH = Price; MinL = Price; For count = 0 to Len - 1 begin If Value2[count] > MaxH then MaxH = Price[count]; If Value2[count] < MinL then MinL = Price[count]; End; Value1 =.5*2*((Price - MinL)/(MaxH - MinL) -.5) +.5*Price[1]; If Value1 >.999 then Value1 =.999; If Value1 < then Value1 = -.999; Fish =.25*Log((1 + Value1)/(1 - Value1)) +.5*Fish[1]; {Plot1(Fish, "Fisher"); Plot2(.9*Fish[1], ”Trigger");

The Fisher Transform Indicator Gives Sharper and More Timely Turning Point Signals than Most Other Indicators

Fisher Transform Strategy Inputs:Price((H+L)/2), Len(10); Vars:MaxH(0), MinL(0), count(0), Fish(0); Value2 = Price; MaxH = Value2; MinL = Value2; For count = 0 to Len - 1 begin If Value2[count] > MaxH then MaxH = Value2[count]; If Value2[count] < MinL then MinL = Value2[count]; End; Value1 =.5*2*((Value2 - MinL)/(MaxH - MinL) -.5) +.5*Value1[1]; If Value1 >.9999 then Value1 =.9999; If Value1 < then Value1 = ; Fish =.5*Log((1 + Value1)/(1 - Value1)) +.5*Fish[1]; If Fish[1] < -3 and Fish Crosses Over.9*Fish[1] then Sell Next Bar on Open; If Fish[1] > 3 and Fish Crosses Under.9*Fish[1] then Buy Next Bar on Open; Idea is to find a trend and then enter a pop in the direction of the trend

The Inverse Fisher Transform

The Stochastic RSI is a Popular Indicator First take a standard RSI Next, compute the Stochastic of that RSI Smooth the result with a Weighted Moving Average Typical parameters are: 8, 8, 5 Stochastic RSI EasyLanguage Code

The Stochastic RSI Gives Signals in a Timely Manner

Deriving the Inverse Fisher Transform The original Fisher Transform Take the inverse by exponentiating both sides and rearranging for X Interchange x and y for conventional notation of input and output The Inverse Fisher Transform is Compressive

Inverse Fisher RSI Code Inverse Fisher Transform requires the input amplitude be reasonably limited A recentered and rescaled RSI fills the bill Vars:IFish(0); Value1 =.1*(RSI(Close, 5) - 50); Value2 = WAverage(Value1, 9); IFish = (ExpValue(2*Value2) - 1) / (ExpValue(2*Value2) + 1); Plot1(IFish, "IFish"); Plot2(0.5, "Sell Ref"); Plot3(-0.5, "Buy Ref");

The Inverse Fisher Transform Crossing the Trigger Levels Gives Consistently Profitable Trades

The Inverse Fisher Transform Can Also Be Applied to a Variety of Other Indicators My CyberCycle is just one such example from “Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures” Inputs:Price((H+L)/2), alpha(.07); Vars:Smooth(0), Cycle(0), ICycle(0); Smooth = (Price + 2*Price[1] + 2*Price[2] + Price[3])/6; Cycle = (1 -.5*alpha)*(1 -.5*alpha)*(Smooth - 2*Smooth[1] + Smooth[2]) + 2*(1 - alpha)*Cycle[1] - (1 – alpha)*(1 - alpha)*Cycle[2]; If currentbar < 7 then Cycle = (Price - 2*Price[1] + Price[2]) / 4; ICycle = (ExpValue(2*Cycle) - 1) / (ExpValue(2*Cycle) + 1); Plot1(ICycle, "Cycle"); Plot2(0.5, "Sell Ref"); Plot3(-0.5, "Buy Ref");

The Inverse Fisher Transform Helps Eliminate Some Whipsaw Trades

SUMMARY The Fisher Transform and Inverse Fisher Transform introduce no lag The Fisher Transform readjusts the data PDF to give sharp turning point indications The Fisher Transform Strategy identifies trends and pops in the direction of the trend The Inverse Fisher Transform is an elegant means to improve many existing indicators
