APO

This method calculates the Absolute Price Oscillator.

var APO(fastPeriod, slowPeriod, maType, dataArray, calculatedDataArray);

fastPeriod

Period integer value.

slowPeriod

Array object filled with high prices.

maType

Array object filled with low prices.

dataArray

Array object filled with close prices.

calculatedDataArray

Empty Array object that will be filled with calculated data.

Returns true if calculation was completed successfully, or false otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to use APO method.

function calculate(beginIndex, endIndex)

{

var fastPeriod = 15;

var slowPeriod = 10;

var maType = TechnicalAnalysis.MA_MAMA;

var dataArray = new Array();

//populate data array..

var calculatedDataArray = new Array();

var rc = TechnicalAnalysis.APO(fastPeriod, slowPeriod, maType, dataArray, calculatedDataArray);

}
