Random Walk Index.png
Random Walk Index (RWI) determines if a security is is trending (uptrend or downtrend) or is in a random trading range..
The random walk index (RWI) is a technical indicator that attempts to determine if a stock’s price movement is random or nature or a result of a statistically significant trend.
RANDOM WALK INDEX FORMULA High = MAX((High - Low(n)) / (ATR(n) * SQRT(n))) Low = MAX((High(n) - Low) / (ATR(n) * SQRT(n)))
The random walk index (RWI) by E. Michael Poulos is a measure of how much price ranges over N days differ from what would be expected by a random walk (randomly going up and down). A bigger than expected range suggests a trend.
The indicator was revised and updated
