TrendNoiseBalance

Description

The Trend-Noise Balance study is a trend-analyzing technical indicator which relates trend to noise in an oscillator format. It is based on calculation of cumulative price change (CPC); this value is reset to zero after each trend reversal indicated by Trend Periods (values switching from -1 to 1 or vice versa).

Values around the +50 level indicate that trend and noise are in equilibrium, while values close to 100 can signify strong trending conditions, and values close to 0 suggest that the trend is weak.
