CHAPTER 6
TRENDS ANALYSIS OF SHARES PRICES ON THE
BASIS OF OSCILLATORS
OSCILLATORS
The researcher is taking base ‘Oscillators’ for showing the trends of selected
companies. The Oscillators indicate the market momentum or scrip momentum.
Oscillator shows the share price movement across a reference point from one
extreme to another. The momentum indicates:
Over bought and oversold conditions of the scrip or the market.
Signaling the possible trend reversal
Rise or decline in the momentum.
Oscillation means a movement of certain item again on the same path with the same
frequency, like that of a pendulum in a wall clock. Oscillators indicate trend
reversals that have to be confirmed with the price movement of the scrip. Changes in
the price should be correlated to Changes in the momentum, and only buy and sell
signals can be generated. Actions have to be taken only when the price and
momentum agree with each other. With the daily, weekly or monthly closing prices
oscillators are built. For short term trading weekly prices are useful.
These Oscillators are fine tools to predict future movements much before such
movement take place, and thus leave a sufficient time gap to take decision on the
basis of these.
The prominent oscillators are following trend analysis of selected companies under
study with their monthly average closing stock prices.
