Market Synopsis

The Ultimate Oscillator indicator calculates the sums of the True Ranges of the number of bars specified by the inputs FastLength, MidLength and SlowLength. These sums are divided into the sums of the distance from the close to the low. This value is weighted for the three lengths and plotted on the chart.

Many analysts believe divergence between the Ultimate Oscillator as well as a breakout in the trend of the indicator are significant signs. For example, a bullish divergence is said to occur if market prices reach a new low but the indicator does not follow. Conversely, a bearish divergence is said to occur if market prices reach a new high but the indicator does not follow.
