Syntax
wcls = wclose(highp, lowp, closep) wcls = wclose([highp lowp closep]) wclsts = wclose(tsobj) wclsts = wclose(tsobj, ParameterName, ParameterValue, ...)
Arguments
highp |
High price (vector) |
lowp |
Low price (vector) |
|
Closing price (vector) |
tsobj |
Financial time series object |
Description
The weighted close price is the average of twice the closing price plus the high and low prices.
wcls = wclose(highp, lowp, closep)
calculates the weighted close prices wcls
based on the high (highp
), low (lowp
), and closing (closep
) prices per period.
wcls = wclose([highp lowp closep])
accepts a three-column matrix consisting of the high, low, and closing prices, in that order.
wclsts = wclose(tsobj)
computes the weighted close prices for a set of stock price data contained in the financial time series object tsobj
. The object must contain the high, low, and closing prices needed for this function. The function assumes that the series are named High
, Low
, and Close
. All three are required. wclsts
is a financial time series object of the same dates as tsobj
and contains the data series named WClose
.
wclsts = wclose(tsobj, ParameterName, ParameterValue, ...)
accepts parameter name/parameter value pairs as input. These pairs specify the name(s) for the required data series if it is different from the expected default name(s). Valid parameter names are
HighName
: high prices series name
LowName
: low prices series name
CloseName
: closing prices series name
Parameter values are the strings that represent the valid parameter names.
Examples
Compute the weighted closing prices for Disney stock and plot the results:
load disney.mat dis_Wclose = wclose(dis) plot(dis_Wclose) title('Weighted Closing Prices for Disney')
