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 - exponentially smoothed moving average 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 - price type (by default AppliedPrice=PRICE_CLOSE).

• 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).
