RE: Clarification on "Delta of Price" vs "Variance in Price" mentioned by Mobius:
“The author suggested the purest way to measure momentum was by using delta of price (derivative of price) rather than variance in price in order to eliminate the inherent volatility in price.”
From my understanding:
Delta of Price:
Variance in Price:
- Momentum = price - price[length]
Are the difference between these two calculation methods in terms of indicator/mathematic significance and meaning? Why use each at what kind of scenarios/indicators?

From my understanding:
Delta of Price:
- Change in Price is represented by discrete 1, 0, -1
- The discrete Change in Price than taken derivatives of EMAs
Variance in Price:
- Momentum = price - price[length]
