Description

The Chande Momentum Oscillator is similar to RSI or Stochastics. It is calculated by dividing the sum of up day and down day activity into the difference of up day and down day activity. The result is then multiplied by 100 to arrive at an indicator that oscillates between -100 and 100. A typical value for number of periods, Period, for the CMO is 20.

Interpretation





Calculation

CMO = 100 * ( ( Su - Sd )/( Su + Sd ) )

where,

Su = Sum of prices on up days for the specified Period
Sd = Sum of prices on down days for the specified Period
