Function Name: mom

Tags: None

Category: Momentum

The Momentum is calculated by computing the continuous difference between prices at fixed intervals. The default settings calculate and plot the net change between the Close of a bar and the Close 20 bars earlier. Measuring current prices versus earlier prices sheds light on the pace of a trend and possible trend reversals. It may also be useful in identifying overbought and oversold conditions when the Momentum becomes extremely strong or weak.
