About The Trading Indicators
The Bollinger Bands consist of three bands with the outer bands being plotted as standard deviations away from the middle simple moving average band.
The indicator offers good clues on the state of volatility in the market.
The Jurik Moving Average (JMA) has an improved timing and smoothness, while tracking the chart’s quick up/down gapping action.
The Klinger Oscillator or KVO is a custom indicator developed by Stephen Klinger and is based on turnovers.
It shares a whole lot of similarities with the traditional MACD, but differs in the display of real-time imbalances between buying and selling pressures.
