Ergodic MDI Indicator by William Blau
Calculation:
Ergodic Mean Deviation Oscillator is calculated as follows:
where:
ergodic_mdi() - ergodic (Mean Deviation Indicator MDI(price,r,s,u));
signalline() - signal line - of a period ul, applied to ergodic;
ul - period of EMA of a signal line.
Input Parameters:
Graphic Plot #0 - Ergodic (Mean Deviation Indicator):
r - period of the 1st EMA, applied to price (by default r=20);
s - period of the 2nd EMA, applied to mean deviation (by default s=5);
u - period of the 3rd EMA, applied to result of the 2nd smoothing (by default u=3);
Graphic Plot #1 - Signal Line:
ul - EMA period of a signal line, applied to ergodic (by default ul=3);
appliedprice - (by default appliedprice=price_close).
Note:
- r > 1;
- s > 0, u > 0. If r, s or u = 1, smoothing is not used;
- ul > 0. If ul = 1, the signal line and mean deviation index are the same;
- Min. rates = (r + s + u + ul - 4 + 1).
