Accelerator Oscillator
MomentumOwn panel belowWhether the Awesome Oscillator itself is speeding up or slowing down.
What it looks like
Drawn by running the real calculation over one sample series. Open a symbol and it is recalculated on that symbol's bars.
How to read it
It measures acceleration rather than speed. Bars shrinking while still above zero mark a stretch that is rising but rising more slowly.
Where it misleads
It is one derivative further out, so it is noisy — single bars are not signals.
Default settings
You can change these on the chart. These are the values it starts with.

One tap to add
Open a symbol, tap the name in the indicator list and it is drawn straight away. You can stack several copies of the same indicator with different settings.
Recalculated per timeframe
Switch between minute, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly bars and it is recalculated on that timeframe. The maths runs over every bar loaded, so zooming never moves the line.
Use it as a search condition
Some indicators can also be used as an axis when searching for symbols — for example, keeping only symbols above a given reading, scanned every night.

Every indicator is an observation computed from past bars. It does not tell you future prices and it is not investment advice.
