PRICE/OSCILLATOR TURNS ••• is the simplest approach to the use of an oscillator, and means that prices and the oscillator turn at approximately the same time, usually within several days of the other (or weeks for a weekly chart, months for a monthly chart, and so on). Unfortunately, most oscillators have ‘wiggles’ of a day or more that are not the highs or lows of the cycle we wish to identify and trade. This technique can be valid for many oscillators once the problem of how to separate the false oscillator turns from the good oscillator turns is solved. Fortunately, several of the other techniques serve to qualify the turns in such a way that a simple oscillator turn can be not only an accurate indicator of tops and bottoms, but also help generate mechanical entry and exit signals.
