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.
