        Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) is a study used to help monitor the speed at which the price changes. CMO first calculates the difference between the sum of gains and the sum of losses. Then, the study divides that difference by the sum of all price movements over the given period. The oscillator's values are presented on the -100 to +100 scale with the zero line and oversold/overbought levels equal to -50 and +50 respectively.

        CMO = [(Su - Sd) / (Su - Sd)] x -100

        where:
        Su – the sum of higher closes (up periods)
        Sd – the sum of lower closes (down periods)
