Example:
ppo_values = ETH.close -> ppo(12, 26, "trima")
​
Rate of Change

Arguments:
period - the length of period to use in the calculation
Return: A time series of values representing the rate of change for the input time series.
Description: The rate of change (ROC) is a momentum indicator that measures the proportional change in the input time series. It is calculated as the difference between the current value and a prior value, divided by the prior value.
Example:
roc_values = ETH.close -> roc(15)
​
Rate of Change Percentage
Definition: Calculates the rate of change percentage (ROCP) for the input time series.
Syntax: rocp(period)
Arguments: period - the length of period to use in the calculation
Return: A time series of values representing the rate of change percentage for the input time series.
Description: The rate of change percentage (ROCP) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in the input time series. It is calculated as the difference between the current value and a prior value, divided by the prior value, and divided by 100.
Example:
rocp_values = ETH.close -> rocp(15)
​
Rate of Change Ratio
Definition: Calculates the rate of change ratio (ROCR) for the input time series.
Syntax: rocr(period)
Arguments: period - the length of period to use in the calculation
Return: A time series of values representing the rate of change ratio for the input time series.
Description: The rate of change ratio (ROCR) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in the input time series. It is calculated as the difference between the current value and a prior value, divided by the average of the current value and the prior value.
Example:
rocr_values = ETH.close -> rocr(15)
​
Rate of Change Ratio 100 Scale
Definition: Calculates the rate of change ratio (ROCR100) for the input time series, scaled up by 100.
Syntax: rocr100(period)
Arguments: period - the length of period to use in the calculation
Return: A time series of values representing the rate of change, scaled up by 100, for the input time series.
Description: The rate of change ratio (ROCR100) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in the input time series. It is calculated as the difference between the current value and a prior value, divided by the average of the current value and the prior value.
Example:
roc_100_values = ETH.close -> rocr100(15)
​
Triple Exponential Average
Definition: Calculates the triple exponential average (TRIX indicator) for the input time series.
Syntax: trix(period)
Arguments: period - the length of period to use in the calculation
Return: A time series of values representing the TRIX indicator for the input time series.
Description: The TRIX indicator is a momentum indicator that shows the percent rate of change of a triple exponentially smoothed moving average. It is calculated by taking the difference between the current value and a prior value of the triple exponentially smoothed moving average, dividing it by the prior value, and multiplying it by 100.
Example:
trix_values = ETH.close -> trix(15)
Relative Strength Index
Definition: Normalizes a time series based on the recent values.
Syntax: rsi(length)
Arguments: length = the number of previous values to use in the calculation.
Return: A time series of values, normalized to a range of +/- 100.
Description: Harmonization, or normalization, transforms data to enable operations, such as adding or averaging, on disparate time series (eg, asset prices).
Example:
normalized = BTC.close -> rsi(30)
​
True Strength Index
Definition: Calculates the True Strength Index, which is a momentum indicator that uses double smoothing to reduce lag.
Syntax: tsi(shortLength, longLength, averageLength)
Arguments:
longLength: The number of previous values to use for the long trend line calculation.
shortLength: The number of previous values to use for the short trend line calculation.
avgLength: The number of previous values to use in the averaging calculation.
Return: Time series of true strength index values with a range of +/- 100.
Description: It is calculated by smoothing out the difference between two exponential moving averages of an asset's price and dividing it by the sum of the smoothed difference and a third exponential moving average.
Example:
tsiValues = BTC.close -> tsi(30, 90, 60)
​
Market Momentum Indicator
Definition: Calculates the difference between the value of the current value of a time series and a previous value.
Syntax: mom(length)
Arguments: length = number of values back used in the calculation
Return: Time series of differences
Description: Market momentum can be used as a measure of market sentiment.
Example:
momValue = BTC.close -> mom(20)
​
Directional Oscillator
Name: dx
Definition: Determines whether a current value is greater than, less than, or equal to a previous value. The resulting value is +1, -1, or 0, respectively, times a scale factor.
Syntax: dx(length, scale)
Arguments:
length: number of values back used in the calculation
scale: scale factor for values (default = 100)
Return: Time series of directional values
Description: Compares the current value to a previous value. The output value is +1, -1, or 0, if the current value is greater than, less than, or equal to the previous value, respectively, multiplied by a scale factor.
Example:
BTC.close -> dx(15)
ETH.close -> dx(50, scale=1.0)
