Intraday Momentum Index:
This index is actually friendly among Intraday traders and has become best friend of every day trader. Started by Tushar Chande from book "New Technical Trader" in 1994. He had experienced of last 20 years in all forms of stock market which help him build it.
Intraday Momentum Index is actually combination of Candlesticks and Relative Strength Index(RSI). Also known as IMI by pet name among traders it helps to find proper buy and sell directions. It's more important in technical analysis field.
It reveals the oversold and overbought market condition. There are also main terms used in these index they are OP and CP stands for Opening Price and Closing Price. Let me explain it clearly when CP is above then it's gaining day and when CP is below then it's loosing day.
It only works between one day and nothing to do with gap between 2 days. So only it is stick with Intraday. Green bodies conclude that IMI indicator is raising and price are above the level while red notifies of declining IMI Indicator and prices low down.
Indicator No.
When Intraday Momentum Index is above 70 then it's bad signal while traders start selling and when IMI is below 30 or around it then they start buying.
How the calculation is done?
Intraday Momentum Index is easily calculated as sum of gains on up days with divided by sum of gains on up days plus sum of losses on down days. Later on it is multiplied by 100 to find last valued. If it goes above 70 then it is over bought and is less than 30 then it is oversold.
This indicator is so common now in India and every app supports it. Top 5 apps like Zerodha, Upstox, Angel Broking, 5 paisa and Motilal Oswal and inbuild in it.
The results of this indicators are calculated between 0 to 100. And then judged overvalued or bought according to it. It takes one input parameter that is the number of periods used to construct the up and down price change averages.
If the close goes above the open then it is said to be up day and if close is below the open then it is down day as per rule.
If you belong to market more than 5 years and know technical analysis very well then you can also combine other indicators like SMA, EMA, HMA and Super trend.
It is more fluctuating than RSI. One suggestions I would like to give is that never ever used these indicator for long term investment.
