Category: Indicator > Oscillators

Description:

This indicator plots the absolute value of CMO averaged over three different lengths. This indicator plots a classical-looking oscillator, which is really an averaged value based on three different periods:




Usage:

The oscillator compares where a security's price closed relative to its price range over a given time period. The most popular method of interpreting an oscillator: buy when the oscillator falls below a specific level (oversold level) and then rises above that level. Sell when the oscillator rises above a specific level (overbought level) and then falls below that level.




Inputs:

Lenght1 - the trailing number of bars to average
Lenght2 - the trailing number of bars to average
Lenght3 - the trailing number of bars to average
Topband - overbought level
Lowband - oversold level

EasyLanguage Code:
INPUT: LENGTH1(5),LENGTH2(10),LENGTH3(20),TOPBAND(70),LOWBAND(20);

PLOT3(TOPBAND,"PLOT3");
