Overview

Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) measures one-bar rate of change of the chosen source, then applies two custom exponential smoothings: the first EMA of the percentage ROC is scaled by ten, and a second EMA produces the PMO line. A standard EMA of the PMO forms the signal line, and a dotted zero line is drawn. Source, first and second smoothing lengths, and signal period are the main inputs. It does not generate trade entries or exits.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
