🎯Available Oscillators

1. Stochastic

(Full size)

The Stochastic Oscillator, a popular member of the Momentum indicator family, is known for its impressive capabilities and ability to deliver excellent results when utilized correctly. This powerful indicator relies on two moving average lines, namely %D and %K, which oscillate within the range of 0 to 100. When these two lines intersect within the 0-50 range, it indicates a bearish trend, while an intersection within the 50-100 range signifies a bullish trend.  

Furthermore, it's important to note that the Stochastic Oscillator incorporates the concept of overbought and oversold levels, similar to the RSI. When the moving average approaches the 0-50 range, it suggests that the market is currently oversold. Conversely, when the moving average nears the 50-100 range, it indicates that the market is currently overbought. Keep these points in mind to effectively utilize the Stochastic Oscillator in your trading strategies.

Using RSI to determine trends

Using the RSI can be advantageous for traders since it helps identify when a trend is about to shift. By observing breakouts at important technical levels in the market, one can detect the initial stages of this change. When it comes to analyzing trends, traders commonly rely on moving averages or channels.

You know the market is overbought when the green line exceeds 100. When the CCI line crosses the 100 lines on its way down, it is surely time to sell. In the opposite situation, that means when the CCI indicator exceeds -100 so the market is oversold, the moment you notice the green line crosses -100 on its way up, you enter a buy position.
