StochasticMomentumIndex

Description

The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is similar to Stochastic Oscillator with the difference that it finds position of the Close price relative to the High-Low range's midpoint, not the range itself. This difference results in the oscillator being plotted on the -100 to +100 scale.

It is considered a Buy signal when the SMI crosses above the oversold (-40) level; Sell signal, when it crosses below the overbought (+40) level. The primary plot is accompanied with its Exponential Moving Average so that additional signals are produced. Crossing above the EMA suggests the Buy signal; crossing below, Sell signal.
