ROCR

Relative Change Indicator for Financial Markets​

Description​

The ROCR (Relative Change) worker is a technical indicator used in financial markets to measure the percentage change in price over a specified period. It helps traders and analysts gauge the momentum and volatility of an asset.

What does this worker do?​

This worker calculates the relative change in price of a financial instrument over a given time period. It takes a list of prices and a time period as inputs and returns the relative change values.

How to interpret the results​

The ROCR values represent the percentage change in price over the specified period. A positive value indicates an increase in price, while a negative value indicates a decrease. The magnitude of the value represents the magnitude of the change.
