CMOabs Backtest

This indicator plots the absolute value of CMO. CMO was developed by Tushar
Chande. A scientist, an inventor, and a respected trading system developer,
Mr. Chande developed the CMO to capture what he calls "pure momentum". For
more definitive information on the CMO and other indicators we recommend the
book The New Technical Trader by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll.
The CMO is closely related to, yet unique from, other momentum oriented indicators
such as Relative Strength Index, Stochastic, Rate-of-Change, etc. It is most closely
related to Welles Wilder`s RSI, yet it differs in several ways:
- It uses data for both up days and down days in the numerator, thereby directly
measuring momentum;
- The calculations are applied on unsmoothed data. Therefore, short-term extreme
movements in price are not hidden. Once calculated, smoothing can be applied to
the CMO, if desired;
- The scale is bounded between +100 and -100, thereby allowing you to clearly see
changes in net momentum using the 0 level. The bounded scale also allows you to
conveniently compare values across different securities.
