PPO

Summary

Percentage Price Oscillator: the difference between a fast and slow moving average expressed as a percentage of the slow MA. A normalized (scale-invariant) variant of APO. Positive when the fast MA is above the slow MA (upward momentum), negative otherwise; magnitude is the % deviation.

Formula

PPO = ((fastMA(inReal) - slowMA(inReal)) / slowMA(inReal)) * 100, both MAs of type optInMAType; output = 0 when slowMA == 0

Inputs

inReal — Input data series

Outputs

outReal — PPO value in percent

Parameters

optInFastPeriod — Period of the fast MA
optInSlowPeriod — Period of the slow MA
optInMAType — Moving average type used for both MAs
