Overview

Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) computes fast and slow compensated exponential moving averages of the chosen source, then expresses their difference as a percentage of the slow average. An EMA of that line forms the signal, and a histogram shows the gap between them. Users change the source and the three periods. Fast length must stay below slow length, and all periods must be greater than zero. It does not generate trade entries or exits.
