Vortex

Two oscillators that capture positive and negative trend movement.

Calculation:
Default Inputs:

length=14, drift=1

TR = True Range SMA = Simple Moving Average tr = TR(high, low, close) tr_sum = tr.rolling(length).sum()

vmp = (high - low.shift(drift)).abs() vmn = (low - high.shift(drift)).abs()

VIP = vmp.rolling(length).sum() / tr_sum VIM = vmn.rolling(length).sum() / tr_sum

Args:

high (pd.Series): Series of ‘high’s low (pd.Series): Series of ‘low’s close (pd.Series): Series of ‘close’s length (int): ROC 1 period. Default: 14 drift (int): The difference period. Default: 1 offset (int): How many periods to offset the result. Default: 0

Kwargs:

fillna (value, optional): pd.DataFrame.fillna(value) fill_method (value, optional): Type of fill method

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: vip and vim columns
