Chaikin Oscillator

CO

Applies a fast and slow EMA to the Accumulation/Distribution line and subtracts them, revealing momentum shifts in money flow before they appear in price. Positive values indicate accumulation; negative indicate distribution.

Tips

Chaikin Oscillator crossing above zero while price is still falling is an early warning of a potential bullish reversal
Divergence between CO and price is more informative than absolute levels; look for CO rising while price makes a lower low

Parameters

1 - 20
