Oscillator TCI (Trading Channel Index) displays the ratio between the average daily price and the smoothed averaged value of the average daily price.

It has four configurable parameters:

  • Period - calculation period;
  • Average period - period of calculating the average smoothed value;
  • Coefficient - coefficient (indicator price scale values scaling);
  • Applied price - price used for calculations.

Calculation:

TCI = EMA(B2, Average period)

where:

B2 = (Applied price - MA1) / (Coeff * MA2)
MA2 = EMA(B1, Period)
B1 = Abs(Applied price - MA1)
MA1 = EMA(Applied price, Period)
