📉 Episode 29: The Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) — RSI’s Secret Twin with an Edge!
⚡️ Want faster momentum signals with less noise? This hidden gem might change your strategy.
CMO is like RSI… but sharper, cleaner, and faster. Let’s break it down 👇
🔍 What Is the CMO?
Developed by Tushar Chande, this oscillator measures momentum strength just like RSI.
But it has a twist:
It uses both upward and downward price changes with equal weight
This makes it more responsive than RSI in spotting trend strength or reversals
It ranges between +100 to -100
🟢 How to Use It:
✅ Above +50 → Strong bullish momentum
✅ Below -50 → Strong bearish momentum
✅ Between -20 and +20 → Neutral zone (avoid trading here)
⚡️ The CMO reacts faster than RSI — giving you quicker entries & exits
🔁 CMO vs RSI:
🔸 Speed:
CMO is faster
RSI is slower, smoother
🔸 Sensitivity:
CMO gives earlier signals
RSI avoids overreaction
🔸 Ideal Use:
CMO = Short-term trading
RSI = Longer-term swings
💡 Pro Tip:
Use CMO with EMA or Keltner Channel:
📈 If price breaks Keltner band and CMO > +50 → HIGH-CONVICTION long
📉 If CMO < -50 during pullback → Possible early exit
The CMO is rarely used — but that’s what gives YOU the edge.
📊 Master it, and you’ll start spotting moves before the herd.
