Remarks

An oscillator is the simple difference between two Moving Averages.
One trading rule is similar to the crossover system used in Moving Averages. In fact, the oscillator is another method of using two Moving Averages. Sell when the oscillator crosses the zero line from above to below. Buy when the oscillator crosses from below to above. Some traders buy the valleys and sell the peaks of the oscillator.
