Syntax

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

Overview

The Detrended Price Oscillator is used when long-term trends or outliers must be removed from prices or index indicators.

Interpretation

This indicator is often used to supplement a standard price chart. Other indicators can be plotted over the Detrended Price Oscillator.

Note

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
