Discussion:

Provides a cumulative product of a time series. Useful when creating custom indicators that require a running product of a time series.

Note that this indicator is labled with “(Be careful if used for trading) because it is very dependent upon the first data value available. If the amount of previous data changes, the value for any given data point will change due to the change in the cumulative product. Therefore if you base trading rules on this indicator, your trades may change if the amount of previous data changes.
