How it works

By averaging these changes, it creates a normalized representation of market movement across significant stocks. This method allows traders to understand the collective momentum of major market players and assess overall market sentiment.

The calculation involves tracking the price movements of these top stocks over a specified time period and computing their average percentage change. Traders can customize the oscillator by adjusting the number of stocks, changing the market cap threshold, or selecting specific sectors for more targeted analysis.
