Price Oscillator Percent Difference

The Price Oscillator displays the difference between two moving averages of a security's price. The difference between the moving averages can be expressed in either points or percentages.

The Price Oscillator is almost identical to the MACD Indicator, except that the Price Oscillator can use any two user-specified moving averages. (The MACD always uses 12 and 26-day moving averages, and always expresses the difference in points.)

Moving average analysis typically generates buy signals when a short-term moving average (or the security's price) rises above a longer-term moving average. Conversely, sell signals are generated when a shorter-term moving average (or the security's price) falls below a longer-term moving average. The Price Oscillator illustrates the cyclical and often profitable signals generated by these one or two moving average systems.

Syntax:

Public Function PriceOscillatorPercentDiff(ByVal POPDIn() As Double, ByVal Lag1 As Long, ByVal Lag2 As Long, ByVal Method As axltaMovingAverageType) As Double

Parameters:

  • ByVal POPDIn() As Double
  • ByVal Lag1 As Long
  • ByVal Lag2 As Long
  • ByVal Method As axltaMovingAverageType

Example:

 

    Dim TA4Net As New TA4Net.CTAFunctions("YOUR-REGISTRATION-CODE")

    Dim Result() As Double

    Dim CloseValues() As Double

 

    ' loading values to array

    CloseValues = GetCloseValues()

    ' calculating Technical Analysis function

    Result = TA4Net.PriceOscillatorPercentDiff(CloseValues, 12, 26, TA4Net.axltaMovingAverageType.axltaMovExponential)
