Fisher Transform

 Fisher Transform Indicator:




The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator used to identify potential price reversals.

Formula:

Fisher = 0.5 * ln((1 + X) / (1 - X)) where, X = (Close - Lowest Low) / (Highest High - Lowest Low)

The Fisher Transform takes the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a value derived from the price to normalize the price distribution between -1 and 1, making it easier to identify extreme price levels.

When to Use:

  • The Fisher Transform is typically used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market.
  • It is particularly useful in identifying potential price reversals, especially in trending markets.

Limitations:

  • Like any technical indicator, the Fisher Transform is not perfect and can produce false signals, especially during choppy or range-bound market conditions.
  • It may not perform well in markets with low liquidity or during periods of extreme volatility.

Recommendations:

  • Use the Fisher Transform in conjunction with other technical indicators and price action analysis for confirmation.
  • Avoid relying solely on the Fisher Transform for trading decisions; always consider other factors such as market fundamentals and macroeconomic trends.

Parameters:

  • data: Pandas DataFrame containing stock price data (must include 'Close', 'High', and 'Low' columns).
  • window: The window size used for calculating the highest high and lowest low. Default is 10.

Returns:

  • Fisher Transform values as a Pandas Series.
