    The percentage price oscillator simply uses a 9-day exponential moving average, decreased and then divided by the 26-day exponential moving average. One advantage to this type of oscillator is has a dimensionless quantity, a pure number that isn't fixed to a value such as the price of the underlying stock or other security.
