Pretty Good Oscillator (PGO)
The Pretty Good Oscillator indicator was created by Mark Johnson to measure the distance of the current close from its N-day Simple Moving Average, expressed in terms of an average true range over a similar period. Johnson’s approach was to use it as a breakout system for longer term trades. Long if greater than 3.0 and short if less than -3.0.

- Calculation:
- Default Inputs:
length=14
ATR = Average True Range SMA = Simple Moving Average EMA = Exponential Moving Average
PGO = (close - SMA(close, length)) / EMA(ATR(high, low, close, length), length)
- Args:
high (pd.Series): Series of ‘high’s low (pd.Series): Series of ‘low’s close (pd.Series): Series of ‘close’s length (int): It’s period. Default: 14 offset (int): How many periods to offset the result. Default: 0
- Kwargs:
fillna (value, optional): pd.DataFrame.fillna(value) fill_method (value, optional): Type of fill method
- Returns:
pd.Series: New feature generated.
