Kurtosis Technical Analysis and Kurtosis Signals

This technical indicator is used to help identify the sentiment of the market.

It's calculated in three parts.

• Kurtosis part
• Fast Kurtosis
• Fast/Slow Kurtosis

The Kurtosis part is calculated using the formula:

K equals the n-period momentum minus the n-period momentum from one bar earlier - so, it's the current candlestick's momentum minus the previous one.

The Fast Kurtosis part is calculated using the formula:

FK = n-periods MA(Moving Average) of K

Fast/Slow Kurtosis part is calculated using this formula:

FSK = n-periods MA(Moving Average) of FK
