Rate of change
4 guides in Finabase Learn
- Momentum indicator (MOM): price change over n bars How the Momentum indicator subtracts the close n bars ago, a worked Oracle example of its echo effect, zero-line signals over a 46% decline, and how Finabase scores it.
- Rate of Change (ROC): percentage momentum and how to read it How the Rate of Change measures percentage price change over n bars, a worked example on the energy ETF XLE, reading its zero line and extremes, and Finabase’s ROC.
- ROCP (rate of change percentage): returns as fractions What ROCP is, how it differs from ROC, why adding or averaging returns misleads, a compounding example on Eli Lilly, and how to use ROCP in Finabase charts.
- ROCR (rate of change ratio): growth factors and relative strength What ROCR measures, why a ratio is the natural form for chaining returns and comparing a stock with the market, a Boeing versus SPY example, and Finabase’s ROCR.
