🧮Code: ABROC
Technical analyst Welles Wilder introduced the Rate of Change indicator (ROC) in the early 1970s. This indicator calculates the percentage change in price between the current period and a user-defined number of periods in the past. It fluctuates above and below a Zero Line and can be used for trend identification as well as identifying overbought and oversold conditions. Although ROC is an oscillator, it does not have a predetermined range, making it sometimes appear unbalanced.
The AlphaBlock scripting team adapted the indicator, adding eight moving averages, Dynamic Zones, and coloured candles. These features were added to improve trend identification and simplify identifying overbought and oversold regions. Dynamic Zones dynamically adjust as the indicator oscillates, providing a statistical calculation to define extreme levels and delimiting possible overbought/oversold regions. The percentile is calculated using the method of Nearest Rank, which identifies outliers or values significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data.
Enjoy.
