Oscillator

An oscillator that quantifies overbought and oversold conditions. A go-to indicator for objectively measuring market momentum.

Where does today's close sit inside the recent range? The Stochastic Oscillator returns that position as a 0–100 number, then reads momentum shifts through the %K / %D pair.

A fast oscillator built as a vertically flipped Stochastic. It plots the close's position within the recent range on a 0 to −100 scale.

An oscillator that measures how far the current price has strayed from its recent statistical mean. Built for commodity cycles, now used across every market.

The simplest oscillator ever published — today's close minus the close n bars ago. The raw, unprocessed ancestor of RSI and ROC.

Momentum expressed as a percentage of its starting point. The simplest normalisation that makes oscillator readings comparable across instruments.

A volume-weighted RSI. Instead of measuring price alone, MFI measures how much money actually moved to produce that price.

The Stochastic formula applied to RSI rather than price. Normalises RSI's own swings to 0–100, exposing inner oscillations that RSI alone hides in narrow ranges.

A weighted blend of buying pressure across three timeframes. Designed to filter out the false divergences that plague single-timeframe oscillators.

A momentum oscillator that double-smooths price change with EMAs and normalizes it by the double-smoothed absolute change. Smooth yet low-lag, read through the zero line, a signal line, and divergence.

A pure-momentum oscillator that divides the difference between total up-moves and total down-moves by their sum, scaled to -100 to +100. It uses the difference and skips smoothing, making it faster than RSI.

An oscillator built on the idea that strong markets close above their open. It normalizes (close − open) by (high − low), smooths it with a 4-bar weighted average, and reads momentum through signal-line crosses.

Measures the appetite for buying and selling on a 0 to 1 scale by asking how far each bar's high and low extend beyond the prior bar. Tom DeMark's oscillator catches the fading drive to make new highs before price actually turns.

A three-line indicator derived from the Stochastic. By adding a J line that overshoots past 0 and 100, behind the familiar K and D, it draws how far the crowd's drive has swung to either side. A leading oscillator widely used in China, across Asia, and in crypto.

Measures how far the close sits from a moving average as a percentage. It reads an overstretched price like a rubber band, catching the moment a price far from its average gets pulled back to the mean. A staple oscillator in Japan.

The same mechanism as MACD, but divided by the price level and expressed as a percent. Showing the spread as a percentage lets you compare the strength of momentum across expensive and cheap symbols, and across past and present, on one common scale.

Adds two rates of change of different lengths and smooths them with a weighted moving average to measure the moment the whole market's mood bottoms and turns up. Edwin Coppock's momentum indicator, born from the idea of mourning time, built to gauge long-term buying opportunities.

Measures trend strength by time rather than price. By comparing how many bars have passed since the last high and the last low, it shows whether buyers or sellers are winning on a single line from -100 to +100, Tushar Chande's oscillator.

Measures which side, buyers or sellers, held control of a single bar by reading where the close landed relative to the open within the bar's range, on a scale from minus 1 to plus 1. An oscillator that reads the imbalance of force hidden behind a trend from the makeup of price action, not volume.

Averages the slope of the candle body to show, in a single line, whether recent bars lean bullish or bearish. Tushar Chande's oscillator reads which side holds the upper hand from the body's bias, not from the rise and fall of the close.

A histogram of the gap between two timeframes of momentum — short-term against medium-term — with each bar colour-coded by direction of change, turning the chart into a direct visual narrative of momentum.

An oscillator that subtracts the trend component from price and exposes only the underlying cyclic component. It is not plotted at the current bar — it is an instrument for reading past cycles, not for generating real-time signals.

An oscillator that smooths price three times with an exponential moving average and then reads the rate of change of the result. Short-term noise is stripped away by three successive filters; what remains is the momentum of the momentum of the momentum.

Alexander Elder's pair of histograms. Bull Power and Bear Power, plotted independently, render the buyers' best moment and the sellers' best moment of each bar as separate distances from a 13-period EMA.

An oscillator that pushes price toward a normal distribution via the Fisher transform, turning soft, rounded turns into sharp, unmistakable spikes.

An oscillator that runs MACD through a double stochastic cycle process, turning it into a smooth, leading 0–100 trend cycle. Crosses of 25/75 catch trends earlier than MACD.

Larry Connors' short-term mean-reversion oscillator that bundles three appetites into one line: price, the up/down streak, and the rank of today's return. It swings to extremes faster than a plain RSI and measures how many days the crowd has run the same way.

An oscillator that bundles four different momentum cycles, from short to long, smooths and weights them into a single line. It visualizes the idea that a major trend turns only when separate cycles that usually wander out of step finally fall into line together.

An oscillator that measures not where the close sits inside the range, but how far the close stands from the range midpoint, double-smoothed. William Blau refined the Stochastic to cut whipsaw and leave only the lean of momentum.

Bill Williams' oscillator that measures not momentum itself but its acceleration and deceleration. By subtracting AO's own 5-period average from AO, it catches the crowd psychology of the foot easing off the accelerator before price actually turns.

RSI with one extra dial: a momentum period M that compares the close to M bars ago instead of yesterday. The longer reach smooths the line and measures the trend's drive, and its fading, more calmly.

Shows how far the Alligator's three smoothed lines are spread apart using two histograms, distinguishing the phase where the gator feeds (trend) from the phase where it sleeps (range). Bill Williams' oscillator measures not price itself but whether the crowd is moving in step.

An oscillator that double-smooths the RSI and redraws it as a MACD-style histogram. It keeps RSI's readability while shaving off the noise, showing the moment momentum to reach for new prices turns, smoothly and ahead of price.
