It's a Personal Criteria Formula for the 5-Period Commodity Channel Index (CCI). It takes the difference of the Typical Price from its Simple Moving Average and divides it by the Mean Deviation of the Typical Price (the whole thing is then adjusted by a constant specified by the CCI's designer, Donald Lambert).
