Calculation

//input = price (user defined, default is closing price)
//period = user defined, default is 20
//prev =previous, index = current bar number
//LOE = less or equal, MOE = more or equal

mon = momentum(index, period, input);
mu = mon;
md = mon;
prevMu = ifNull(mon, mu[index-1]);  //returns mom as initial default value
prevMd = ifNull(mon, md[index-1]);  //returns mom as initial default value
if (mon MOE 0) mu = prevMu -(prevMu / period) + mon;
if (mon LOE 0) md = prevMd -(prevMd / period) + abs(mon);
rm = mu/md;
Plot: rmix = 100 * (rm / (1 + rm));
