Chande Momentum Oscillator Forex Technical Analysis and Forex Trading Signals

Developed by Tushar Chande

Chande Momentum Oscillator measures momentum of a currency pair.

This Indicator uses a scale ranging between +100 and -100 thus allowing the trader to clearly see changes in net momentum using the 0 level mark as a balance point.

Calculation

Chande momentum uses data for both up days and down days in the numerator, thereby directly measuring momentum.

The calculations are performed on unsmoothed data. This allows for short-term extreme movements to be less hidden. However, smoothing can still be applied to the Oscillator.
