Stochastic Momentum Indicator (Index)

licho · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2006, 08:45 AM

Could anybody please send/write the following indicator:
Stochastic Momentum Indicator (Index).

I have been able to find its formula only for metastock
Stochastic Momentum Indicator

100 * ( Mov( Mov(C - (.5 * ( HHV(H,13) + LLV(L,13))),25,E),2,E)/
(.5*Mov(Mov( HHV(H,13) - LLV(L,13),25,E),2,E)))

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI)

The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is based on the Stochastic Oscillator. The difference is that the Stochastic Oscillator calculates where the close is relative to the high/low range, while the SMI calculates where the close is relative to the midpoint of the high/low range. The values of the SMI range from +100 to -100. When the close is greater than the midpoint, the SMI is above zero, when the close is less than than the midpoint, the SMI is below zero.

The SMI is interpreted the same way as the Stochastic Oscillator. Extreme high/low SMI values indicate overbought/oversold conditions. A buy signal is generated when the SMI rises above -50, or when it crosses above the signal line. A sell signal is generated when the SMI falls below +50, or when it crosses below the signal line. Also look for divergence with the price to signal the end of a trend or indicate a false trend.

The Stochastic Momentum Index was developed by William Blau and was introduced in his article in the January, 1993 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine.

Yes, this is it.
Almost the same code as in my indicator.
I tryed to use just simple arrays in calculation, but as I see, the author of yours indicator used as usual buffers instead of arrays, the results are compleatly difrent. Hm. It is very interesting. Mabye this indicator repaints history?
Anyway, I don't think that this one is better than the others. So... keep searching
