ADOSC

Summary

Chaikin A/D Oscillator: the difference between a fast and a slow EMA of the Accumulation/Distribution line. Highlights momentum in accumulation/distribution volume flow. Positive/rising suggests accumulation; negative/falling suggests distribution.

Formula

ad += ((close-low)-(high-close))/(high-low) * volume (only when high>low) fastEMA = fastk*ad + (1-fastk)*fastEMA, fastk = 2/(optInFastPeriod+1) slowEMA = slowk*ad + (1-slowk)*slowEMA, slowk = 2/(optInSlowPeriod+1) ADOSC = fastEMA - slowEMA

Inputs

  • inPriceHLCV — High, low, close, and volume series

Outputs

  • outReal — Fast-EMA minus slow-EMA of the A/D line

Parameters

  • optInFastPeriod — Period of the fast A/D EMA
  • optInSlowPeriod — Period of the slow A/D EMA
