Syntax

Public function PriceOscillator(ByRef Data As Database, ByRef Source As Field, ByVal LongCycle As Integer, ByVal ShortCycle As Integer, ByVal MAType As Integer, Optional ByVal FieldAliasName As String = "") As RecordSet

Overview

The Price Oscillator shows a spread of two moving averages.

Interpretation

The Price Oscillator is basically a moving average spread. Buying usually occurs when the oscillator rises, and conversely, selling usually occurs when the oscillator falls.

Note

LongCycle is an integer specifying the number of periods to use in the long moving average calculation, ShortCycle is an integer specifying the number of periods to use in the short moving average calculation, and MAType is an integer specifying the moving average type to be used (Simple = 1, Exponential = 2, TimeSeries = 3, Variable = 4, Triangular = 5, Weighted = 6, VIDYA = 7).

Class: Oscillator
