The Awesome Oscillator (AO) is a momentum indicator that compares recent market momentum to a broader reference frame by computing the difference between a 5-period and 34-period simple moving average of the bar's midpoints. It helps traders identify bullish and bearish momentum shifts through zero-line crossovers and saucer patterns.
This sample renders CSCO daily data as candlesticks on the main plot with the X-axis disabled, and displays the AO indicator in a second plot set to 40% height. Rising bars are colored green and falling bars red for immediate visual momentum reading. The chart includes dual Y-axes on both plots, a synchronized line scroller, a range picker, and a range selector, with the default view from June 1999 to June 2000.
