Unbounded Oscillator

Unbounded Oscillator is an oscillator whose formula does not impose fixed minimum and maximum output values.

Also known asnon-bounded indicator

Definitions

In plain terms

CCI can exceed common threshold levels because its scaled deviation is not clipped to a bounded interval.

Technical

Interpretation must retain the indicator, inputs, period, scale, empirical distribution, and threshold context.

Scope

Common levels such as plus or minus 100 are not mathematical limits.

Examples

  • A governed lesson calculates or identifies Unbounded Oscillator only after its inputs, window, state, scale, and edge cases are declared.

Common misconceptions

  • Common levels such as plus or minus 100 are not mathematical limits.
