Market Synopsis

The Ease of Movement indicator calculates and plots a measure of the relationship between price and volume. For instance, a market that rises on low volume exhibits a high Ease of Movement, generating positive values for this indicator. Negative values are generated when prices move down with light volume. When the indicator is near zero, either prices are not moving or heavy volume is required to move prices.

The Ease of Movement calculation is smoothed by taking an average.

Plot Information

Number Name Default Color Description
Plot1 EOM Cyan/Magenta Plots the Ease of Movement as a line.
Plot2 ZeroLine Dark Green Plots a horizontal line at 0.

When applied to a chart, this indicator displays two plots in a separate subgraph from the price data.

Set either UpColor and/or DnColor to -1 to disable gradient plot coloring.  When disabled, Plot1 color is determined by settings in indicator properties dialog box.  Plot2 (ZeroLine) color always comes from indicator properties dialog box.
