oscillator

An oscillator is a type of technical analysis indicator, bound by an upper and lower extreme (often between 1 and 100) and used to provide overbought, oversold, entry and exit signals.


Generally, signals that the market is overbought occur when the oscillator reaches its upper limits, and oversold signals occur when the oscillator reaches its lower limits. Entry & Exit signals may come with centerline crossovers and patterns specific to certain indicators.
