(An oscillator, defined in market terms, is a technical study that attempts to measure market price momentum - such as a market being overbought or oversold.) I'll define and briefly discuss these two oscillators, and then I'll tell you how I use them in my market analysis and trading decisions. Slow Stochastics: George Lane has been called the father ...

First of all let's be clear about one issue. Indicators are derived from algorithms that used past data to provide a current value. They are by definition lagging. There are some developers who claim that their indicators are leading indicators - that they provide signals for the next period. Well, there are some such as pivot levels and Fibonacci, but in the ordinary range of indicators ...

After all, a 10-day Simple Moving Average is calculated by just taking the closing prices of the last 10 days, adding them together and dividing by 10. We can then plot those daily numbers on the chart to smooth out the market movement and get a better feel for the mood of the market. Many new traders run into problems as they use the market price crossing the Moving Average or a crossover of two ...

The MACD, developed by Gerald Appel, is both a trend follower and a market momentum indicator (an oscillator). The MACD is the difference between a fast exponential moving average and a slow exponential moving average. An exponential moving average is a weighted moving average that usually assigns a greater weight to more recent price action. ...

Bollinger Bands are a pair of trading bands representing an upper and lower trading range for a particular market price. A market price or currency pair is expected to trade within this upper and lower limit as each band or line represents the predictable range on either side of the moving average. The lines are plotted at standard deviation levels above and below the moving average. This trading band technique was introduced by John Bollinger in the 1980s. Why use them? Bollinger ...

However, the is an alternative way of looking at pivot levels which, albeit subjective, can provide excellent trading opportunities. Many years ago the concept of using prior support and resistance levels as pivotal ...

One classic interpretation of momentum indicators is that of overbought and oversold. Normally these are quite good signals when used within a consolidating market although mere oversold or overbought readings should not be used to buy or sell (respectively) without other forms of analysis and preferably in shorter term time frame charts. However, these overbought and oversold extremes can be useful within trends also. ...

"The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is such an indicator, offering the best of all worlds," said Cardwell, president of Cardwell Financial Group, Inc., based in Woodstock, Ga. The RSI "is the cornerstone of my trading model," he said. "In ...

But now after another move up, the pair has pulled off of the highs and is moving down and you wonder if there is a way to measure the strength of the move so you could have exited earlier to protect more of your profits. There is and it is called the Average Directional Index (ADX). Developed by J. Welles Wilder, the ADX is meant to evaluate the strength of a current trend, be it up or down. The important ...
