chart for Klinger Volume Oscillator

// C# usage syntax
IEnumerable<KvoResult> results =
  quotes.GetKvo(shortPeriods, longPeriods, signalPeriods);

Parameters

fastPeriods int - Number of lookback periods (F) for the short-term EMA. Must be greater than 2. Default is 34.

slowPeriods int - Number of lookback periods (L) for the long-term EMA. Must be greater than F. Default is 55.

signalPeriods int - Number of lookback periods for the signal line. Must be greater than 0. Default is 13.

Historical quotes requirements

You must have at least L+100 periods of quotes to cover the warmup and convergence periods. Since this uses a smoothing technique, we recommend you use at least L+150 data points prior to the intended usage date for better precision.

quotes is a collection of generic TQuote historical price quotes. It should have a consistent frequency (day, hour, minute, etc). See the Guide for more information.

Response

IEnumerable<KvoResult>

This method returns a time series of all available indicator values for the quotes provided.
It always returns the same number of elements as there are in the historical quotes.
It does not return a single incremental indicator value.
The first L+1 periods will have null values since there’s not enough data to calculate.

⚞ Convergence warning: The first L+150 periods will have decreasing magnitude, convergence-related precision errors that can be as high as ~5% deviation in indicator values for earlier periods.

KvoResult

Date DateTime - Date from evaluated TQuote

Oscillator double - Klinger Oscillator

Signal double - EMA of Klinger Oscillator (signal line)

Utilities

See Utilities and helpers for more information.

Chaining

Results can be further processed on Kvo with additional chain-enabled indicators.

// example
var results = quotes
    .GetKvo(..)
    .GetSlope(..);

This indicator must be generated from quotes and cannot be generated from results of another chain-enabled indicator or method.
