Title: stock market news
Post by: king21 on February 25, 2014, 02:08:43 PM



How can I read a Stochastic Oscillator?
The Stochastic Oscillator ranges
from a scale of 0 to 100. It will be bound to this
range no matter how fast the security advances or declines. Looking at the scale,
anything over 80 traditional represents an overbought threshold and 20 as the oversold
threshold. Reading above 80 for the 14-day Stochastic Oscillator that is used on this
site indicates that the underlying security was trading near the top of its 14-day
high-low range. Reading below 20 occur when a security is trading at the low end of
its high-low range. This basically means that above 80 signals show the stock has been
overbou ght and is going to start to trend lower. The stocks that are heading close to
their 20 level means they are oversold and are bound to have a bounce higher due to
increased selling pressure. It is important to note that overbought readings!!




What are the distinct Buy & Sell
Signals of the Stochastic Oscillator?
A technical momentum indicator compares a security's closing price to its price range
over a particular period. The oscillator's sensitivity to market movements can be
REDUCED by adjusting the time period or taking a moving average of the result.
The oscillator created on this site uses the Slow Stochastic reading, meaning it
averages out the price and reduces inaccurate readings of short-term price
fluctuations and gives you a more accurate view of the trend. There are two lines,
%K and %D. %K = 100 X(C-L14)/(H14-L14), where C is the most recent closing price of
the stock. L14 is the lowest price that the stock has closed at over the
last 14 previous trading sessions. H14 is the highest price traded during the
same 14-day period. %D is the 3-period moving average of %K. The theory behind
this indicator is that in an upward-trending market, prices tend to close near their
highs; conversely, in a downward-trending market, prices tend to close near their
lows. IMPORTANT: Transaction signals occur when the %K crosses a three-period moving
average called the %D




The Oscillator Generated On this Site is a Slow Stochastic Oscillator 14-day %K,
%D is a 3-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) of %K.  To reduce the volume of Bear/Bull
cases we have looked back last 5 trading days to see if there is a breakout or
breakdown Bull/Bear case, and we are only looking at securities with volume over
200,000.

The james jones moderation average took a bit of a hit today due to a lack of activity on the forums. Some analysts have stated that this may be due to some recent bannings that have taken place
