Moving Average Convergence Divergence (Fixed)

fixed_moving_average_convergence_divergence() is a generic S3 function that preserves the input class: data.frame in, data.frame out; matrix in, matrix out.

fixed_moving_average_convergence_divergence() also accepts a double vector, in which case the indicator is calculated directly without column selection. When the result has a single column it is simplified to a double vector; otherwise the full n by k matrix is returned.

Handling of -values

Leading NAs are always produced for the initial lookback period where insufficient data is available. If the input itself contains NAs they are passed through to the underlying C routine, which can cause the entire output to be filled with NAs. Set na.ignore = TRUE to strip NAs before calculation and re-insert them at their original positions in the output.

Usage

fixed_moving_average_convergence_divergence(
  x,
  cols,
  signal = 9,
  na.ignore = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

An OHLC-V series coercible to data.frame. Alternatively, x may also be supplied as a double vector.

cols

(formula). An optional 1-variable formula selecting columns from x via model.frame. Defaults to ~close.

signal

(integer). Period for the signal Moving Average (MA).

na.ignore

(logical). A logical of length 1. FALSE by default. If TRUE, NAs in the input are stripped before calculation and re-inserted at their original positions in the output.

...

Additional parameters passed into model.frame

Value

An object of same class and length of x:

MACD

double

MACDSignal

double

MACDHist

double
