Price Momentum Oscillator for Comparing Relative Security Momentum

Summary

The document introduces the DecisionPoint Price Momentum Oscillator, originally developed by Carl Swenlin, and describes a comparison approach attributed to Vitali Apirine. The method applies the oscillator to compare the relative momentum of two securities. It also notes that the indicator can generate signals through momentum behavior, crossings of its signal line, or crossings of the zero line.

The source provides only a brief description and a list of possible signal types. It does not explain the oscillator’s calculation, give rules for comparing securities, or show charts, backtests, or performance evidence. As a result, it offers a high-level idea for technical analysis rather than enough detail to implement or evaluate a trading system. The document does not specify asset classes, time horizons, or how to manage risk around any generated signal.

Key ideas

• The Price Momentum Oscillator can be used to compare the relative momentum of two securities.
• The described comparison method is attributed to an article by Vitali Apirine.
• Potential signals include oscillator momentum, signal-line crosses, and zero-line crosses.
• The document omits calculation details, implementation rules, and performance evidence.
