The momentum indicator, which has to do with uptrend’s and down trends, measures the strength of a trend. Momentum is a measurement of the rate of change in price. Thus know the trend is very important. Building momentum usually suggests continuation of trend. A decline in momentum suggests a pause or reversal due to the amount of buyers or sellers. Oscillators are most advantageous when a clear trend cannot be easily seen in a company's stock or a forex pair especially when it trades horizontally or sideways. The most common oscillators are: the Stochastic oscillator, RSI,and in some cases the CCI. One trading rule is similar to the crossover system used in Moving Averages or when is the trade above or below the 100 or zero line. Oscillators measure overbought and oversold environments in price. The problem with this type of indicator is that in a strong uptrend, prices become overbought very fast and can become more overbought before declining. Selling, or not as good, short selling overbought on an oscillator could lead to cutting profits short or losses. The same happens in a downtrend when oversold leads to more oversold. Technical analysts use a variety of oscillators. An oscillator is the simple difference between two Moving Averages. Proper charting calculates and plots the difference between two Moving Averages. Those values oscillate about the zero line and are plotted as a histogram. When trading the oscillator is another method of using two Moving Averages.Trading technical indicators
