Abs price oscillator

What does Abs price oscillator measure?

The raw gap between a fast trend line and a slow one. A positive, widening gap says the trend is accelerating; a shrinking one says it is tiring.

How is Abs price oscillator calculated?

Take a 12-candle exponential average of the close and a 26-candle one, and subtract the slow from the fast. The answer is in dollars, not percent — which is why it is bigger on expensive stocks.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Abs price oscillator in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type apo (parameters: fast, default 12; slow, default 26). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
