What is Ease of Movement?

Ease of Movement smooths Richard Arms' one-candle reading over a period, showing whether price has been moving with little volume behind it. The divisor parameter scales the output.

Ease of Movement formula

Output	Calculation
EMV	Distance moved ÷ (volume ÷ divisor ÷ (high − low))
EOM	SMA(EMV, period)

How to read Ease of Movement in your code

Signal	Meaning	Condition
Upward ease	Price rising with little resistance	`value` > 0
Downward ease	Price falling with little resistance	`value` < 0
Bias change	Direction of ease flipped	`value` crosses 0

Limitations: Readings depend on the symbol's volume scale, so thresholds do not carry over between markets. Nothing on this page is financial advice.

Compare the last two closed Ease of Movement values

Use backtrack=1 to skip the candle still forming, and results=2 to compare the last two closed candles. Arrays run oldest first.

curl -G https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/eom \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "exchange=binance" \
  --data-urlencode "symbol=BTCUSDT" \
  --data-urlencode "timeframe=1h" \
  --data-urlencode "results=2" \
  --data-urlencode "backtrack=1"

import requests

resp = requests.get(
    'https://v2.taapi.io/indicator/eom',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'},
    params={'exchange': 'binance', 'symbol': 'BTCUSDT', 'timeframe': '1h', 'results': 2, 'backtrack': 1},
)
data = resp.json()
prev, last = data['value']
print('value', prev, '->', last)
print('rising' if last > prev else 'falling or flat')
