What It Does

PRICEOSC measures the absolute spread between two moving averages.

Formula

Price Oscillator = EMA(period1) - EMA(period2)

Parameters

• period1 - default 12
• period2 - default 26
• _movav - default ExponentialMovingAverage

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/priceosc.hpp>
auto priceOsc = std::make_unique<nonabt::PRICEOSC>(data().close(), 12, 26, "ExponentialMovingAverage");

Common Usage

• Use it to measure trend spread without normalizing by price.
• Pair it with a signal or threshold for cleaner decisions.
• Helpful when price scale is already comparable across samples.
