In this indispensable new resource, Mark Etzkorn thoroughly examines all the facets of these popular trading tools, first explaining the logic on which they are based, then guiding you through the fundamentals and applications of such well-known indicators as momentum, rate of change (ROC), stochastics, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD). Next, advanced trading issues and new oscillator developments are explored. Providing the framework you need to make sound trading decisions with momentum-based indicators, Trading with Oscillators offers complete information on the basic concepts underpinning each oscillator--how it works, what it measures, and what its strengths and weaknesses are--along with detailed data on historical performance, divergence characteristics, variable price inputs and time frames, and a realistic appraisal of trading strategies for different market conditions. "A comprehensive, realistic, and up-to-date explanation of a potentially valuable (but widely misused) class of technical indicators. Readers will learn not only the formulas and conventional interpretations of popular oscillators, but, more importantly, will gain an understanding of both the inherent limitations of oscillators and their appropriate role in the technical repertoire of the skilled trader." --Thomas A. Bierovic, Synergy Futures. "A realistic appraisal of oscillators, Etzkorn separates the myth from the fact. Trading with Oscillators should be read by any trader contemplating the use ofoscillators as a market timing tool." --Jack D. Schwager, author, Technical Analysis |

| Publisher Description: Als Oszillatoren bezeichnet man eine Gruppe von Marktindikatoren, anhand derer man Wendepunkte in Märkten ermitteln kann. Oszillatoren gehören zu den am häufigsten benutzten Marktindikatoren. Der RSI (Relative Stärke Index) bildet die Grundlage für Kombinationen mit anderen Indikatoren und stellt ein wichtiges Werkzeug für jeden Händler dar. Dieses bahnbrechende Buch behandelt schwerpunktmä ig die praktischen Anwendungen und den Einsatz solch wichtiger Indikatoren wie Stochastic, Momentum, Elder-Ray, Williams%R und den Relative Stärke Index (RSI), der bedeutendste unter den genannten. Der Autor veranschaulicht, wie RSI die innere Stärke eines Wertpapiers ermittelt, wie man ihn berechnet, und wie man ihn einsetzt, um besser entscheiden zu können, ob man bestimmte Marktsignale annimmt oder ablehnt. Darüber hinaus wird aufgezeigt, wie Investoren den RSI unter verschiedenen Marktbedingungen und Zeitspannen adaptieren, modifizieren, anwenden und ihn mit anderen Indikatoren kombinieren können.
