Indicator values are in the range 0-100. The greater is the indicator value, the greater is the market stability, so the more likely we have trend. The smaller is the indicator value – the less probable the trend is.

Calculation formula:

CMI = ((ABS(Close[0]-Close[n]))/(MaxHigh[n]-MinLow[n]))*100


Where:

  • ABS – absolute value
  • Close[0] – last close
  • Close[n] – close N bars ago
  • MaxHigh[n] – maximal value of High for the N bars period
  • MinLow[n] – minimal value of Low for the N bars period
