I would write code to let you specify how many bars are required between points A and B ... That sort of thing is easy to do. I have programmed many systems for people. Some are way more complicated. Some are very simple in concept and trivial to program. For example, I had one woman claim that the market always tests the pivot point by Tuesday's close. She asked me to write code to analyze the results. How hard is that to program??? Not hard. I wrote a system for her - she clicks a button that supplies the input information (i.e. high/low/close), computes the pivot, and then it scanned years of data to prove or reject her theory. I then create a nice report. FYI - Any system I write asks the user to put in a stop or dollar amount they are willing to risk on each trade. Although I suppose I could get rid of that part of the programs.

I think if you combine oscillators with maybe a trend indicator such as ADX, then maybe you can find better uses for them. Also, the image with the divergence - i’m not sure if it mention the notion of proximity of the peaks and / or valleys. I think you want them closer, rather than farther, otherwise the oscillator readings become irrelevant or non-correlated.
