stockcharts.com wrote:The Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. As with its cousin, MACD, the Percentage Price Oscillator is shown with a signal line, a histogram and a centerline. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, centerline crossovers and divergences.

Formula:
PPO = (EMA(12) - EMA(26)) / EMA(26)
SIGNAL = EMA(PPO, 9)
HISTOGRAM = PPO - SIGNAL

HI APPRENDICE ,

CAN YOU CREATE A STRATEGY BASED ON THIS INDICATOR PPO

INIDCATORS:

1.PPO DATA SOURCE PRICE(PPOP)
BUY LEVEL:0
SELL LEVEL;0

2.PPO DATA SOURCE VOLUME(PPOV)

BUY LEVEL:0
SELL LEVEL:0

BUY;
    PPOP CROSS OVER SIGNAL AND PPOP > BUYLEVEL AND
    PPOV > SIGNAL AND PPOV > BUY LEVEL

SELL:
    PPOP CROSS UNDER SIGNAL AND PPOP< SELL LEVEL AND
    PPOV<SIGNAL AND PPOV < SELL LEVEL
