Can be used to determine whether an instrument is overbought or oversold.

Example 1
private PriceROC _result; protected override void Initialize() { _result = Indicators.PriceROC(MarketSeries.Close, 14); } public override void Calculate(int index) { double result = _result.Result[index]; }
Example 2
