TTR (version 0.14-0)

changes: Rate of Change / Momentum

Description

Calculate the (rate of) change of a series over n periods.

Usage

ROC(x, n=1, type=c("continuous", "discrete"), na=NA)
  momentum(x, n=1, na=NA)

Arguments

x

Price, volume, etc. series to use.

n

Number of periods to use.

type

Compounding type; either "continuous" (the default) or "discrete".

na

How should periods prior to n be represented? Default is NA.

Value

• ROC returns a vector containing the rate-of-change (or return) values. momentum returns a vector containing the differenced price series.

concept

returns

Details

The ROC indicator provides the percentage difference of a series over two observations, while the momentum indicator simply provides the difference.

Examples

data(ttrc)
  roc <- ROC(ttrc[,"Close"])
  mom <- momentum(ttrc[,"Close"])
