Chande Forecast Oscillator

Chande Forecast Oscillator (CFO) – an oscillator that reflects the difference between the expected and real prices. It is calculated as the difference in percent between the expected (identified by x-period of linear regression) and current instrument prices. The oscillator is above zero when the forecasted value is above the current price. Otherwise, it is below zero when the forecasted value is below the current price.
