Syntax

TradeStatKurt(value, count, symbol)

Parameters

value - trade value formula

count - number of recent trades to include, or all trades if omitted

symbol - specific symbol to include, or all symbols if omitted

Notes

This is excess kurtosis, so a normal distribution returns 0. Positive values indicate fatter tails (more frequent extreme trades) than a normal distribution.

See the link above for important information about this function category.
