Rfactory has partnered with Dr. Ken Long of Tortoise Capital Management to provide his complete RLCO Framework into a single seamless Tradestation indicator along with his most recent MACD Seasons work.  Everything is pre-configured but also customizable enabling you to get up and running with a beautifully crafted RLCO Framework of your own in just a few clicks.

Dr Long developed the RLCO (Regression Line Cross Over) Framework as a statistical lens through which he trades the markets and has taught the approach to countless traders through Dr. Van Tharp’s IITM as well as his own workshops and trading community.

All elements of the Framework are preconfigured and the indicator includes a custom side menu-bar with daily range statistics (such as FrogBox, Hybrid FrogBox, Rangestat, etc) and controls to enable or disable each element of the Framework at the click of a button.

The RLCO Framework elements include the Linear Regression lines (RL10, RL30, RL90, RL270), the Bands (River, Flood Plain & Z3 Bands as well as the Dragon and the Baby Dragon) and a host of other Supplemental tools that are often used in conjunction with the above such as VWAP, PSAR and the customized PSAR on the RL10 that Dr. Long pioneered.

In order to keep an eye on intraday volatility the Z3 bands will change color to yellow and the Z3 Pinch % reading in the menu-bar will be highlighted in yellow when we enter an SQC (Sideways Quiet Channel) environment to alert the trader.

Each element has been carefully designed with pre-configured and deliberate layering, coloring and translucency settings by default so it looks gorgeous out of the box but can also be customized to taste using the usual Tradestation format settings.

This package also includes the MACD Seasons Indicator which is loaded into its own sub-graph. All settings are preconfigured to be the same as Dr. Long uses out of the box and the plots include the MACD line colored by Season, the Signal line and the Red River. Everything is customizable including not only coloring and line styles but also the underlying settings such as lookbacks or whether to use SMA’s or EMA’s for the calculations.

The MACD Seasons Indicator can also be loaded into Radar Screen so that the Season can be monitored for multiple symbols and timeframes simultaneously along with the number of bars that we’ve been in the current Season to help quickly gauge where we are in the seasonal cycle.

For an even more intuitive experience you can monitor the MACD Season at a glance from within the RLCO Framework itself by coloring either the RL10 line or the Dragon by MACD Season which has become a very popular feature.
