Range Expansion Index (REI) definition
Range Expansion Index (REI) is an oscillator that measures price changing rate and signals about overbought/oversold areas, in case a price shows weakness or strength. It was developed by Thomas DeMark and described in his book New Market Timing Techniques: Innovative Studies in Market Rhythm & Price Exhaustion!
The indicator values change from -100 up to +100. REI is an enhanced oscillator, as it stays neutral during a flat and shows trends only when considerable top or bottom have been reached.
This version
This version is made according to Mark Jurik's idea : according to him, REI can be made as
rsx(high) + rsx(low)
- and the result should be much smoother. So, this version is doing exactly that.You have an option to chose between three color changing modes:
- color change when outer levels are crossed
- color change when middle level (a sort of a "zero line") is crossed
