Die Idee in einfachen Worten

ROC is momentum in its simplest form: the percentage move over a fixed look-back. Above zero the price is higher than it was, below zero lower.

So wird gerechnet

Divide the change since N candles ago by the price N candles ago and multiply by 100.

ROC = (close − close[N]) ÷ close[N] × 100

Anwendung

  • Crossing zero: momentum turns positive or negative.
  • Divergence: price makes a new high while ROC does not.

Schlüsse ziehen

  • Extreme readings compared with the ticker's own history often come before pauses.

Beispiel

AAPL daily, ROC(12) = +8%: the price is 8% above where it was 12 sessions ago.

Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.

Worauf man achten sollte

  • One unusual candle N candles ago makes ROC jump when it drops out of the window.

Ein wenig Geschichte
