Overview

Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) derives the percentage price change over a selected lookback period, applies an initial exponential smoothing pass, and refines it with a second exponential smoothing stage. An additional exponential moving average generates a signal line. Both the PMO and signal lines plot in a separate indicator pane. Settings allow customization of the source price, ROC lookback length, both smoothing lengths, and the signal line period.

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