Stochastic Momentum Oscillator
Calculation:
Stochastic Momentum Oscillator is calculated as follows:
where:
SM_Stochastic() - Stochastic Momentum Index SMI(price,q,r,s,u);
SignalLine() - Signal Line - with period ul, applied to Stochastic Momentum Index;
ul - period of EMA smoothing of a Signal Line.
Input parameters:
graphic plot #0 - Stochastic Momentum Index:
q - period of Stochastic Momentum (by default q=5);
r - period of the 1st EMA, applied to Stochastic Momentum (by default r=20);
s - period of the 2nd EMA, applied to result of the 1st smoothing (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 - period of EMA smoothing of a Signal Line, applied to Stochastic Momentum Index (by default ul=3);
AppliedPrice - (by default AppliedPrice=PRICE_CLOSE).
Note
:
q>0;
r>0, s>0, u>0. If r, s or u =1, smoothing is not used;
ul>0. if ul=1, the Signal Line and Stochastic Momentum Index are the same;
Min. rates=(q-1+r+s+u+ul-4+1).
