Detrended price oscillator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The detrended price oscillator (DPO) is an indicator in technical analysis that attempts to eliminate the long-term trends in prices. Leaving short-term trends, the indicator allows immediate overbought and oversold levels to be found more effectively.

The DPO is calculated by subtracting the simple moving average over an N day period and shifted N/2+1 days back from the price.
