Return value of the Upper Bollinger band technical indicator.

Syntax:

 

Example:

 

Return the value of the CCI technical indicator “Commodity Channel Index”.

Syntax:

Calculation :

CCI calculates the distance between a price and its average over x days divided by 1.5% of the mean absolute deviation.

CCI = (Price – MM) / (0.015*D)

 

Where :

Price (Typical Price by default, but can be any Price type) = (H+L+C) / 3

MM = moving average on M with n days

D = standard deviation on the moving average

Return the Chaikin oscillator technical indicator value.

Syntax:

Calculation :

The Chaikin Oscillator is created by substracting an x period exponential moving average of the Accumulation Distribution Line from a y period exponential moving average of the Accumulation Distribution Line.

(Default values are : x = 10 ; y = 3).

Return value of the technical indicator “Chande Kroll Stop” upper band, usually used for placing stoploss on long positions.

Syntax:

This indicator is a potential stop for a long position. It is displayed as a green line overlaid on the price chart. The green line is the stop level for a long position.

Calculation :

First low stop = Lowest[p](low) + x * Average True Range[p]

Stop long = Lowest[q](first low stop)

Return value of the technical indicator “Chande Kroll Stop” upper band, usually used for placing stoploss on short positions.

Syntax:

This indicator is a potential stop for a short position. It is displayed as a red line overlaid on the price chart. The red line is the stop level for a short position.

Calculation :

First high stop = Highest[p](high) – x * Average True Range[p]

Stop short = Highest[q](First high stop)

Return the value of “Chande Momentum Oscillator” technical indicator.

Syntax:

Calculation :

pos positive variation, pos = 0 if variation is negative

neg negative variation, pos = 0 if variation is positive

variation = pos – neg

We calculate Mpos and Mneg the moving average with p days of pos and neg.

Chande momentum oscillator = (Mpos – Mneg) / (Mpos + Mneg) * 100

Get the value of the “Cycle” technical indicator on price selected.

Syntax:

 

Example:

Return the value of the technical indicator “Double Exponential Moving Average” over N periods on ‘price’ type selected.

Syntax:

Calculation :

We start to calculate MME1, a (n day) exponential moving average . The we calculate MME2, that’s the exponential moving average of MME1 with  the same period.

Finally the indicator DEMA = 2 * MME1 – MME2

Part of the directional Index technical indicator (ADX) value. Represents DI+ minus DI- over N periods.

Syntax:

Part of the average directional Index technical indicator (ADX). Return value of the DI- line over N periods.

Syntax:
