The CCI is calculated as the difference between the typical price of a commodity and its simple moving average, divided by the mean absolute deviation of the typical price. The index is usually scaled by an inverse factor of 0.015 to provide more readable numbers:
Note that the distribution's mode will lie with p N-2 's weight, i.e. in the graph above p 8 carries the highest weighting. An N of 1 is invalid. The easiest way to calculate the triple EMA based on successive values is just to apply the EMA three times, creating single-, then double-, then triple-smoothed series. The triple EMA can also be expressed directly in terms of the prices as below ...

An index level of 110, for example, means there has been a 10% increase in prices since the base period; similarly, an index level of 90 indicates a 10% decrease in prices. To calculate the percent change in prices between some previous period and a more current period using a PPI, the BLS uses the following formula:
Over the entire test period, and also during the last 10 years, the Vortex Indicator showed a better performance than the DMI. [ 7 ] However, using a similar test based on 101 NASDAQ stocks, on a smaller sample (for the period 2 January 1992 to 14 August 2009), the DMI showed a better performance than the Vortex Indicator.
