.

indicators are designed to

price data so that a trend can be represented as a

measure

, allowing us to detect changes in speed or

of price change.

A

is calculated by adding the closing prices for the last n periods and diving by n.

An

is an indicator that is constructed so that it swings back and forth across a

line that is usually

.

means the speed at which

is moving from one period to the next.

A simple

oscillator is calculated by

the price n periods ago from today's price.

is the level of price coinciding with extreme levels of momentum oscillator above the centre line.

is the level of price coinciding with extreme levels of momentum oscillator below the centre line.

A

divergence is a common divergence followed by yet another divergence. That is, there are

price swing highs or lows and the oscillator does not confirm the

and

price highs or lows.
