Composite Momentum Index [LazyBear] 

Bitcoin / U.S. dollarBitstamp

Description

This is a composite oscillator derived from modified 5/10/20 Chande's Dynamic Momentum Index values.

Volatility is factored in, by design. Look for OB/OS extremes and divergences.

I added the green/red ribbon look to make it easy to read :)

Thank you LazyBear for sharing this 'Composite Momentum Index' by Tushar Chande. I noticed a small similarity to William Blau's 'Stochastic Momentum Index', so I created a comparison. Both indicators in my test use the default signal period 5 and a smoothing period of 3:




(I removed your cool color feature for a clearer comparison)
























Conclusion: There does not seem to be a clear winner in this comparison, so my recommendation would be to use both indicators to watch the momentum. Here is the 'Stochastic Momentum Index' coded by UCS Gears: tradingview.com/script/xd8t6hai-Stochastic-Momentum-Index-UCSgears/


P.S. Both technical analysts are engineers. Tushar Chande holds a Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Illinois. And William Blau holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from NYU and a master's in systems engineering and operations research from the University of Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the comparison. SMI has TSI in its core (& 5 is the "ergodic" according to Blau), while CMO derives from MOM indirectly too. So, no wonder they all look alike at the end of the day :)

BTW, this is the SMIIO vs the inbuilt SMI vs CMI.

Now I get confused. What is the difference between:

Blau's SMII / SMIIO (SMI Ergodic Indicator/Oscillator)
Blau's SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index)

When I set the build-in SMIIO to the same periods as the SMI from UCS then I don't get the same result, The SMI seems to be smoother than the SMIIO.
