The Ultimate Oscillator blends buying pressure across three timeframes — short (7), medium (14), and long (28) — into a single reading, reducing the false signals that plague single-period oscillators. It is effective for spotting divergences in crypto and stock markets. Combine it with trend-following tools from our indicator guide library for a robust multi-timeframe trading strategy.
Buying Pressure = Close − True Low. True Range is used as the normaliser. The oscillator averages buying pressure over 7, 14, and 28 periods with weights of 4, 2, and 1 respectively, then scales the result to 0-100. This multi-period approach smooths out single-timeframe noise.
The Stochastic Oscillator compares a security's closing price to its price range over a given period, making it excellent for identifying overbought/oversold conditions and divergences in bounded ranges. It works especially well alongside the <a href="/academy/indicators/rsi" class="text-primary hover:underline">RSI</a> for double confirmation of reversal zones in <a href="/market/forex" class="text-primary hover:underline">forex</a> and <a href="/market/stocks" class="text-primary hover:underline">stock</a> markets. For best results, use Stochastic signals only in the direction of the larger trend identified by tools in our <a href="/academy/indicators" class="text-primary hover:underline">indicator guide library</a>. Build it into a complete system by reviewing our <a href="/strategies" class="text-primary hover:underline">trading strategies</a> section.
KST (Know Sure Thing) is a smoothed rate-of-change oscillator that combines four different ROC timeframes into a single weighted line, revealing broad momentum shifts across multiple cycles. It was designed by Martin Pring for identifying major trend changes in <a href="/market/stocks" class="text-primary hover:underline">stocks</a> and is equally useful in <a href="/market/crypto" class="text-primary hover:underline">crypto</a> markets. Compare it with the <a href="/academy/indicators/rate-of-change" class="text-primary hover:underline">ROC</a> and other momentum tools in our <a href="/academy/indicators" class="text-primary hover:underline">indicator guide library</a>.
The Coppock Curve is a long-term momentum indicator originally designed to identify major buying opportunities in <a href="/market/stocks" class="text-primary hover:underline">stock</a> indices after significant market bottoms. It combines rate-of-change over two long lookback periods with WMA smoothing for a signal that fires rarely but with high conviction. Explore our <a href="/academy/indicators" class="text-primary hover:underline">indicator guide library</a> for complementary long-term tools and <a href="/strategies" class="text-primary hover:underline">strategies</a>.
Stochastic RSI applies the <a href="/academy/indicators/stochastic-oscillator" class="text-primary hover:underline">Stochastic Oscillator</a> formula to <a href="/academy/indicators/rsi" class="text-primary hover:underline">RSI</a> values instead of raw price, creating an oscillator of an oscillator that is extremely sensitive to momentum shifts. It is a favourite tool of <a href="/market/crypto" class="text-primary hover:underline">crypto</a> traders who need early reversal signals on short timeframes. Pair StochRSI with price structure and volume confirmation from our <a href="/academy/indicators" class="text-primary hover:underline">indicator guide library</a> to filter out the inevitable noise.
