The Choppiness Index is an oscillator designed to determine if the market is choppy (trading sideways) or not choppy (trading within a trend in either direction). The Choppiness Index is not directionnal. Higher values equal more choppiness, while lower values indicate directional trending.
- the Choppiness Index measures the linearity of price moves.
Markets go through phases of range expansion and range contraction. The choppiness index can help quantify those phases.
- a market contraction leads to a non linear price action, and the energy gets built up.
- a trending market, sees its price action become more linear and the energy gets exhausted.
example of formula :
chop = choppiness_index(20);

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
