| Description |
The Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) computes the difference between the current closing value of a stock and a specified moving average. The basic idea behind the DPO is to detect cycles in stocks as opposed to trends.
Note: The Detrended Price Oscillator(DPO) used on StockFetcher uses a forward shifted MA, as described/detailed in Steven Achelis' "Technical Analysis from A to Z". The last n / 2 + 1 days of the measure will not exist due to the nature of the formula.
