Oscillators:
• Move up and down between extremes of
overbought and oversold.
• Have a neutral level.
• May show divergences which indicate loss of
trending strength.
• Work great in sideways markets, suffer during
trending markets.

Having the A-D Line make lower
lows is not necessarily a sign of
1200
weakness. One must look at
the strength of the moves. 1000

McClellan Oscillator Basics
• Divergences show loss of trending
strength.
• Trend line breaks show reversal.
• Extreme low readings show conclusion.
• Extreme high readings show initiation.
• Complex structures indicate strength for
that side of the zero line.
• Simple structures imply weakness.

Other A-D Lines
• Can be used, but with caution
• Groups too much alike will behave too
much alike for A-D Line to be useful
• Different rules apply for different indicators

Price Indicators
• Unlike A-D numbers, no limit on how far
prices can move in one day
• Indicators behave differently for different
categories, e.g. stocks, bonds,
commodities
Exponential Moving Averages
• Weights recent data more heavily than
older data
• Smoothing constant determines how “fast”
the moving average reacts to data.
• Some people refer to EMAs by a time
component, e.g. 39-day EMA
2
Smoothing Constant = ---------------

McClellan Price Oscillator
• Like McClellan A-D Oscillator, it is the
difference between 10%T and 5%T of
closing prices.
• Trending price moves cause 10%T to
move faster than 5%T, increasing the
separation between the two.

• Direction gives indication of price trend
• Extreme levels show extended price
conditions
• Smooth Price Oscillator shows strength of
trend
• Bumpy Price Oscillator means weak trend
• Watch out for fishhooks!

from a high Price Oscillator peak.

2. Can lead to very serious declines once
Price Oscillator turns down again.

Price Oscillator Unchanged Level
• The closing price needed for the Price
Oscillator to be unchanged from one day
to the next.
• If price is above that level, Price Oscillator
rises; below that level, it falls.
• Acts as support/resistance line, like a
moving average.
• Calculated as 10% Trend + Price Osc.

Rainbow Convergences
• Occur when moving average lines come
together on the chart.
• Also mark point when Price Oscillator
crosses below zero (by definition).
• Usually mark end of short term move.
• In a small percentage of cases, prices
retrace toward the point of the
convergence then resume trend.

Indicator Summary
• Price indicators are not “better” than
breadth indicators. Each has a story to
tell.
• During trending markets, follow the trend.
• During sideways markets, buy oversold
and sell overbought.
• Key difficulty is figuring out which is which.

• Watch the smart money
• Sometimes what should be smart money

Put and Call Options
• Put options are a bet on the market going
down.
• Call options bet on prices going up.
• More call trading is a sign of trader
optimism, which occurs more at market
tops.
• Option “writers” provide different view.

• Does not measure actual volatility.
• Instead, measures “implied volatility”
priced into OEX options.
• Low readings indicate complacency, a
sign of a price top.
