What It Does

DPO removes longer-term trend influence to help expose cyclic movement and shorter-term turning points.

Formula

DPO = Price - centered moving average

Parameters

• period - default 20
• movav - default MovingAverageSimple

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/dpo.hpp>
auto dpo = std::make_unique<nonabt::DPO>(data().close(), 20, "MovingAverageSimple");

Common Usage

• Use DPO to identify cyclical swings.
• Combine it with support/resistance or timing rules.
• Helpful for mean-reversion systems.

Practical Pattern

Positive DPO values can suggest price is above its centered average, while negative values can suggest the opposite.
