About The Trading Indicators
The Stochastic oscillator is a momentum oscillator that is attributed to George Lane.
The indicator is made up of two lines, the %K fast line and the %D slow line, while it oscillates between 1 and 100.
Essentially, the Stochastic gauges the relationship between an assets closing price and its price range over a specified time period.
The Doda-BBands indicator is the modified version of Bollinger band and generates buy and sell signals based on this premise.
