The FXB.ta.AO class calculates the Awesome Oscillator: the difference between two moving averages (therefore similar to the main value of MACD). It is a value-based calculation, and can be applied to any series of values including the output of another FXB.ta calculation. For candle-based calculations, the default member for the Awesome Oscillator is the typical price, not the close price. Other parameters are as follows:
| Parameter | Description |
| fast | Period for fast moving average (defaults to 5) |
| slow | Period for slow moving average (defaults to 34) |
| maType | Type of moving average for the fast and slow averages. Defaults to a simple moving average (sma / 0). |
