Ultimate Oscillator (UO) – FX Replay Guide
The Ultimate Oscillator (UO) in FX Replay is a multi-timeframe momentum tool that blends short-, mid-, and long-term pressure readings to reveal true market momentum. It’s ideal for detecting hidden strength, reversal signals, and momentum divergence during your backtesting workflows.
How to Add It in FX Replay:
- Open the Indicators panel
- Search for “Ultimate Oscillator” or “UO”
- Apply it with default settings (7, 14, 28) or customize based on your time horizon
How to Use UO in FX Replay:
Momentum Zones:
- Above 70 → Overbought → prepare for potential reversals or manage longs tightly
- Below 30 → Oversold → watch for bounce opportunities
- Above 50 → Bullish bias zone → prioritize long trades
- Below 50 → Bearish bias zone → prioritize short trades
Entry Signals:
- Oversold Reversal: UO crosses back above 30 → potential long trigger
- Overbought Reversal: UO crosses back below 70 → potential short signal
- Confirm with price action, structure breaks, or session timing (e.g., NY open)
Divergence Detection:
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, UO makes higher lows
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, UO makes lower highs
- Use divergence near key zones like support/resistance or Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Strategy Filters:
- Integrate UO as a momentum confirmation filter
- Only go long when UO > 50
- Only short when UO < 50
- Great for filtering choppy or low-conviction setups during backtests
Pro Tip:
In FX Replay, use the Ultimate Oscillator as a momentum integrity check.
If price pushes into a breakout level but UO is declining or diverging, it can be an early warning to hold off or scale out.
Pair UO with:
- Supertrend → for directional context
- TEMA or SMMA → for structure filtering
- Liquidity sweep detection → for high-confluence entries
