Description
Momentum is the difference between two prices (data points) separated by a number of periods.
mom = tsmom(data, nperiods)
calculates the momentum of a data series data. If nperiods is specified, tsmom
uses that value instead of the default 12.
momts = tsmom(tsobj, nperiods)
calculates the momentum of all data series in the financial time series object tsobj
. Each data series in tsobj
is treated individually. momts
is a financial time series object with similar dates and data series names as tsobj
. If nperiods
is specified, tsmom
uses that value instead of the default 12.
Examples
Compute the momentum for Disney stock and plot the results:
load disney.mat dis = rmfield(dis,'VOLUME') % remove VOLUME field dis_Mom = tsmom(dis); plot(dis_Mom) title('Momentum for Disney')
