Commodity Channel Index: Exponential MovAvg

Abbreviation: CCI ExpAvg
Category: Price Momentum Indicators: Smoothed
Input Parameters:

Name Range Default
High Price High
Low Price Low
Closing Price Close
CCI Periods Int >= 2 5
Deviation Multiplier Real > 0.0 0.015
ExpAvg Periods Int >= 1 5

 
Calculation:

ExpAvg(X, ExpAvg Periods)

where
X = CCI(High Price, Low Price, Closing Price, CCI Periods, Deviation Multiplier)

CCI represents Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
ExpAvg represents Exponential Moving Average

 
Discussion:

This indicator attempts to smooth the Commodity Channel Index indicator by calculating its moving average. Since it uses an exponential moving average (which gives more importance to the most recent periods than to less recent periods), the smoothing is influenced most by recent periods.
