Description
This documentation is still a work in progress. It has omissions, and it probably has errors too. If you see any issues, or have any general feedback, please get in touch.
The Fisher Transform helps identify price reversals.
It takes one parameter, the period n
.
It is calculated as follows:
$$hl_{t} = \frac{high_{t} + low_{t}}{2}$$
$$max_{t} = maximum(hl_{t}, hl_{t-1}, ..., hl_{t-n+1}) $$
$$min_{t} = minimum(hl_{t}, hl_{t-1}, ..., hl_{t-n+1}) $$
$$val_{t} = 0.33 \cdot 2 (\frac{hl_{t}-min_{t}}{max_{t}-min_{t}} - 0.5) + .67 \cdot val_{t-1}$$
$$\text{fisher}_{t} = 0.5 \cdot \log (\frac{1 + val_{t}}{1-val_{t}}) + 0.5 \cdot \text{fisher}_{t-1}$$
$$\text{fisher_signal}_{t} = \text{fisher}_{t-1}$$

Example Usage
Calling From C
/* Example usage of Fisher Transform */
/* Assuming that 'high' and 'low' are pre-loaded arrays of size 'in_size'. */
TI_REAL *inputs[] = {high, low};
TI_REAL options[] = {5}; /* period */
TI_REAL *outputs[2]; /* fisher, fisher_signal */
/* Determine how large the output size is for our options. */
const int out_size = in_size - ti_fisher_start(options);
/* Allocate memory for each output. */
outputs[0] = malloc(sizeof(TI_REAL) * out_size); assert(outputs[0] != 0); /* fisher */
outputs[1] = malloc(sizeof(TI_REAL) * out_size); assert(outputs[1] != 0); /* fisher_signal */
/* Run the actual calculation. */
const int ret = ti_fisher(in_size, inputs, options, outputs);
assert(ret == TI_OKAY);
