Price Oscillator (POSC) Indicator
06.01.2012
The Price Oscillator indicator charts the relationship between two moving averages (default 14-day & 24-day). The Price Oscillator can be used to signal entry and exit points.
Possible Buy Signals:
- When the indicator line crosses and moves above the zero line. The line will cross pass zero when there is no difference between the two moving averages.
- Strong positive divergence. This is when the price is trending downwards, but the indicator is on the up. This would indicate that the market downturn is nearing the end and should turn bullish.
Possible Sell Signals:
- The indicator line drops below the zero line.
- Strong negative divergence. This is when the instrument price is moving upwards, but the indicator is heading downwards. This indicates that the market may turn bearish and that the price increase isn’t set to continue.
