So, there really isn't an S&P oscillator? It's not mentioned on the S&P products site.

I don't believe that this is the correct formula as the s&p oscillator that Cramer references goes negative indicating an oversold condition.

The oscillator that Cramer refers to is a proprietary one that shows up in the paper charts that arrive at his doorstep over the weekend.

It's an indicator that has been around for a long, long, time and if my memory serves me correctly it might actually be something from Investor's Intelligence.

I used to know, but its been so long that I have forgotten where this oscillator actually came from.

I don't see how this works or corresponds to your chart. Are you just using daily prices in this formula (i.e. day's high - day's open), etc?

Could you elaborate further on how you calculated your chart?

Thanks.
