augment_ppo

augment_ppo(data, date_column, close_column, fast_period=12, slow_period=26, reduce_memory=False, engine='pandas')

Calculate PPO for a given financial instrument using either pandas or polars engine.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
`data`	Union[pd.DataFrame, pd.core.groupby.generic.DataFrameGroupBy]	Pandas DataFrame or GroupBy object containing financial data.	required
`date_column`	str	Name of the column containing date information.	required
`close_column`	str	Name of the column containing closing price data.	required
`fast_period`	int	Number of periods for the fast EMA in PPO calculation.	`12`
`slow_period`	int	Number of periods for the slow EMA in PPO calculation.	`26`
`reduce_memory`	bool	Whether to reduce memory usage of the data before performing the calculation.	`False`
`engine`	str	Computation engine to use (‘pandas’ or ‘polars’).	`'pandas'`

Returns

Type	Description
pd.DataFrame	DataFrame with PPO values added.

Notes

The Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. The PPO is best used to confirm the direction of the price trend and gauge its momentum.

The PPO is calculated by subtracting a long-term EMA from a short-term EMA, then dividing the result by the long-term EMA, and finally multiplying by 100.

Advantages Over MACD: The PPO’s percentage-based calculation allows for easier comparisons between different securities, regardless of their price levels. This is a distinct advantage over the MACD, which provides absolute values and can be less meaningful when comparing stocks with significantly different prices.
