Oscillators are used with charts that are non-trending.

Moving averages (MA) and trends are important while analyzing the direction of a stock. An analyst uses oscillators when the charts are not showing a definite trend in either direction. Oscillators are thus most beneficial when a company’s stock either is in a horizontal or sideways trading pattern, or has not been able to establish a definite trend in a choppy market.

The following are the types of oscillators used by technicians:

• Average True Range

• Chaikin Oscillator

• Chaikin Volatility

• DeMarker

• Detrended Price Oscillator

• Elder-Rays

• Envelopes

• Force Index

• Ichimoku Kinko Hyo

• Momentum

• Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD)
