Price Zone Oscillator

  

Welcome to the Super Mario Space Zone…wait, no. This is the other one, where the traders live. The Price Zone.

The Price Zone Oscillator is a thing in the Price Zone...a technical indicator used by traders to help them time the market. Well, try to time the market. Stats say more fail than would be worth it to try, unless you can prove it to the world with numbers. Do it. Or don’t, by taking Warren Buffett’s advice: be a boring long-term investor. Yep.

Anyway, the Price Zone Oscillator measures the closing prices over time, tracking each one up and down relative to the preceding closing price. Using this oscillator, traders try to time when certain stocks are oversold or overbought, profiting off of the difference.

Get in the zone...the Price Zone. Or don’t—you do you.
