Supported Indicators

Chande Momentum Oscillator

Introduction

This indicator computes the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO). CMO calculation is mostly identical to RSI. The only difference is in the last step of calculation: RSI = gain / (gain+loss) CMO = (gain-loss) / (gain+loss)

To view the implementation of this indicator, see the LEAN GitHub repository.

Using CMO Indicator

To create an automatic indicators for ChandeMomentumOscillator, call the CMO helper method from the QCAlgorithm class. The CMO method creates a ChandeMomentumOscillator object, hooks it up for automatic updates, and returns it so you can used it in your algorithm. In most cases, you should call the helper method in the Initializeinitialize method.

public class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;
    private ChandeMomentumOscillator _cmo;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        _cmo = CMO(_symbol, 20);
    }

    public override void OnData(Slice data)
    {
        if (_cmo.IsReady)
        {
            // The current value of _cmo is represented by itself (_cmo)
            // or _cmo.Current.Value
            Plot("ChandeMomentumOscillator", "cmo", _cmo);
            
        }
    }
}
class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def initialize(self) -> None:
        self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
        self._cmo = self.cmo(self._symbol, 20)

    def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        if self._cmo.is_ready:
            # The current value of self._cmo is represented by self._cmo.current.value
            self.plot("ChandeMomentumOscillator", "cmo", self._cmo.current.value)
            

The following reference table describes the CMO method:

cmo(symbol, period, resolution=None, selector=None)[source]

Creates a new ChandeMomentumOscillator indicator.

Parameters:
  • symbol (Symbol) — The symbol whose CMO we want
  • period (int) — The period over which to compute the CMO
  • resolution (Resolution, optional) — The resolution
  • selector (Callable[IBaseData, float], optional) — x.Value)
Returns:

The ChandeMomentumOscillator indicator for the requested symbol over the specified period

Return type:

ChandeMomentumOscillator

CMO(symbol, period, resolution=None, selector=None)[source]

Creates a new ChandeMomentumOscillator indicator.

Parameters:
  • symbol (Symbol) — The symbol whose CMO we want
  • period (Int32) — The period over which to compute the CMO
  • resolution (Resolution, optional) — The resolution
  • selector (Func<IBaseData, Decimal>, optional) — x.Value)
Returns:

The ChandeMomentumOscillator indicator for the requested symbol over the specified period

Return type:

ChandeMomentumOscillator

If you don't provide a resolution, it defaults to the security resolution. If you provide a resolution, it must be greater than or equal to the resolution of the security. For instance, if you subscribe to hourly data for a security, you should update its indicator with data that spans 1 hour or longer.

For more information about the selector argument, see Alternative Price Fields.

For more information about plotting indicators, see Plotting Indicators.

You can manually create a ChandeMomentumOscillator indicator, so it doesn't automatically update. Manual indicators let you update their values with any data you choose.

Updating your indicator manually enables you to control when the indicator is updated and what data you use to update it. To manually update the indicator, call the Updateupdate method with time/number pair or an IndicatorDataPoint. The indicator will only be ready after you prime it with enough data.

public class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;
    private ChandeMomentumOscillator _cmo;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        _cmo = new ChandeMomentumOscillator(20);
    }

    public override void OnData(Slice data)
    {
        if (data.Bars.TryGetValue(_symbol, out var bar))
        {      
            _cmo.Update(bar.EndTime, bar.Close);
        }
   
        if (_cmo.IsReady)
        {
            // The current value of _cmo is represented by itself (_cmo)
            // or _cmo.Current.Value
            Plot("ChandeMomentumOscillator", "cmo", _cmo);
            
        }
    }
}
class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def initialize(self) -> None:
        self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
        self._cmo = ChandeMomentumOscillator(20)

    def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        bar = slice.bars.get(self._symbol)
        if bar:
            self._cmo.update(bar.EndTime, bar.Close)
        if self._cmo.is_ready:
            # The current value of self._cmo is represented by self._cmo.current.value
            self.plot("ChandeMomentumOscillator", "cmo", self._cmo.current.value)
            

To register a manual indicator for automatic updates with the security data, call the RegisterIndicatorregister_indicator method.

public class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;
    private ChandeMomentumOscillator _cmo;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        _cmo = new ChandeMomentumOscillator(20);
        RegisterIndicator(_symbol, _cmo, Resolution.Daily);
    }

    public override void OnData(Slice data)
    {
        if (_cmo.IsReady)
        {
            // The current value of _cmo is represented by itself (_cmo)
            // or _cmo.Current.Value
            Plot("ChandeMomentumOscillator", "cmo", _cmo);
            
        }
    }
}
class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def initialize(self) -> None:
        self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
        self._cmo = ChandeMomentumOscillator(20)
        self.register_indicator(self._symbol, self._cmo, Resolution.DAILY)

    def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        if self._cmo.is_ready:
            # The current value of self._cmo is represented by self._cmo.current.value
            self.plot("ChandeMomentumOscillator", "cmo", self._cmo.current.value)

Indicator History

To get the historical data of the ChandeMomentumOscillator indicator, call the IndicatorHistoryself.indicator_history method. This method resets your indicator, makes a history request, and updates the indicator with the historical data. Just like with regular history requests, the IndicatorHistoryindicator_history method supports time periods based on a trailing number of bars, a trailing period of time, or a defined period of time. If you don't provide a resolution argument, it defaults to match the resolution of the security subscription.

public class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm
{
    private Symbol _symbol;

    public override void Initialize()
    {
        _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol;
        var cmo = CMO(_symbol, 20);
        var countIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(cmo, _symbol, 100, Resolution.Minute);
        var timeSpanIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(cmo, _symbol, TimeSpan.FromDays(10), Resolution.Minute);
        var timePeriodIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(cmo, _symbol, new DateTime(2024, 7, 1), new DateTime(2024, 7, 5), Resolution.Minute);
    }
}
class ChandeMomentumOscillatorAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def initialize(self) -> None:
        self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol
        cmo = self.cmo(self._symbol, 20)
        count_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(cmo, self._symbol, 100, Resolution.MINUTE)
        timedelta_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(cmo, self._symbol, timedelta(days=10), Resolution.MINUTE)
        time_period_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(cmo, self._symbol, datetime(2024, 7, 1), datetime(2024, 7, 5), Resolution.MINUTE)

To make the IndicatorHistoryindicator_history method update the indicator with an alternative price field instead of the close (or mid-price) of each bar, pass a selector argument.

var indicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(cmo, 100, Resolution.Minute, (bar) => ((TradeBar)bar).High);
indicator_history = self.indicator_history(cmo, 100, Resolution.MINUTE, lambda bar: bar.high)
indicator_history_df = indicator_history.data_frame

If you already have a list of Slice objects, you can pass them to the IndicatorHistoryindicator_history method to avoid the internal history request.

var history = History(_symbol, 100, Resolution.Minute);
var historyIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(cmo, history);
