The Move Tracker (MT) was authored by Omega Research 1996. The MT uses the difference of price and previous price for its main line; and for the signal line it uses the difference of MT and previous MT. The user may only alter the input (close). This indicator’s definition is further expressed in the condensed code given in the calculation below.
