How to Calculate the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO)
Wanna whip up the Detrended Price Oscillator? 🤔 You gotta figure out a time frame that screams "trend alert." ⏰
Like, if prices be climbing for twenty straight days, slap that “20” on your time frame badge. 🎖️
Divide this by two, add one, and voilà, you got number n. 🔢
Next, grab the moving average of your asset's price n days prior, then do the math: subtract it from the closing price of that vibe zone. 💸
The digits you get? That's today's DPO. 📊
This lit method makes sure only short-term mosh pit price vibes are partying on your DPO chart, while long-term trends get ghosted. 👻
DPO = Close (n/2 + 1 Periods ago) – n Period SMA
