The Oscillator Chapter

The Oscillator Chapter is a document created from the extraction of "The Oscillator" chapter (16) from the New Era Trader book The Definitive Trading Bible. The primary Oscillator chapter itself is 46-pages itself but the document is actually longer as it includes the introductory pages from this book. The charts are full-color, fully-notated charts.

Although this Oscillator training primarily uses the S&P Futures E-mini many of these oscillator characteristics can be applied to other liquid securities including Forex.

The charts and other training in this chapter show TradeStation-generated charts.  NET NinjaTrader indicator users will find only minor differences between the two charting programs.

Oscillator Chapter has these sections, tables and figures:
