Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)


Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) is a very close neighbor of MACD indicator.

PPO standard settings are similar to MACD settings: 12, 26, 9, and PPO, same as MACD shows the difference between the two Moving averages, with one difference, that PPO shows it in percents.

Trading with PPO is similar to trading with MACD indicator, with the same zero line crossover rules, divergence etc.

Reasons for using PPO instead of MACD

- by having the percentage measurement rather than price values (for example PPO = 3%), it becomes possible to compare currency pairs with their rising/falling % against each other, regardless the actual prices.

- PPO also offers a better interpretation of the two moving averages in relation to each other. Again, this absolute percentage value allows to make comparisons across time frames, regardless the market price.
