Category: Market Short Sales
Input Parameters:
| Name | Range | Default |
| Public Short Sales | ||
| Total Short Sales | ||
| ExpAvg1 Periods | Int >=1 | 5 |
| ExpAvg2 Periods | Int >=1 | 10 |
Calculation:
ExpAvg(X, ExpAvg1 Periods) – ExpAvg(X, ExpAvg2 Periods)
where
X = Short Sales Public/Total Ratio(Public Short Sales, Total Short Sales)
Short Sales Public/Total Ratio represents Short Sales Public/Total Ratio
ExpAvg represents Exponential Moving Average
Discussion:
This indicator attempts to quantify movements in the Short Sales Public/Total Ratio indicator by calculating the difference between two moving averages. Since it uses exponential moving averages (which give more importance to the most recent periods than to less recent periods), the indicator tends to focus more upon movement occurring in the most recent periods.
