Ergodic CMI-Oscillator by William Blau
Calculation:
The Ergodic CMI-Oscillator is defined as follows:
where:
Ergodic_CMI() - Ergodic - Candlestick Momentum Index CMI(price1,price2,q,r,s,u);
SignalLine() - Signal Line - exponentially smoothed moving average EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic;
ul - period of a signal line.
Input parameters:
graphic plot #0 - Ergodic (Candlestick Momentum Index):
q - number of bars, used in calculation of Candlestick Momentum (by default q=1);
r - period of the 1st EMA(r), applied to Candlestick Momentum (by default r=20);
s - period of the 2nd EMA(s), applied to result of the 1st smoothing (by default s=5);
u - period of the 3rd EMA(u), applied to result of the 2nd smoothing (by default u=3);
graphic plot #1 - Signal Line:
ul - period of the Signal Line - EMA(ul), applied to Ergodic (by default ul=3);
AppliedPrice1 - (by default AppliedPrice1=PRICE_CLOSE);
AppliedPrice2 - (by default AppliedPrice2=PRICE_OPEN).
Notes:
q>0;
r>0, s>0, u>0. If r, s or u are equal to 1, smoothing is not used;
ul>0. If ul=1, the signal and main lines are the same;
Min. rates = (q-1+r+s+u+ul-4+1).
