Ultimate Oscillator

[eSignal]

File Name: UltimateOscillator.efs

Description:
Ultimate Oscillator

Formula Parameters:
Short Period : 7
Med Period : 14
Long Period : 28


Notes:
Oscillators typically compare a security's smoothed price with its
price x-periods ago. Larry Williams noted that the value of this type
of oscillator can vary greatly depending on the number of time periods
used during the calculation. Thus, he developed the Ultimate Oscillator
that uses weighted sums of three oscillators, each of which uses a different
time period.
The three oscillators are based on Williams' definitions of buying and
selling "pressure".
