Klinger Oscillator
Categories: Financial Theory, Metrics
The Klinger Oscillator, developed by Stephen Klinger, is a security indicator that is sensitive to both long-term money flow and short-term fluctuations in the money flow. Ups. Downs. They're a Thing.
Since it uses both a short exponential moving average and a long exponential moving average, these two averages work together to create a very telling oscillator. The volume of a security that’s traded as well as its price movements, trend direction, and some other factors (look up "temp" if you’re really curious) determine these moving averages.
The Klinger Oscillator is kind of complicated (but we’ve seen worse), where the exponential moving averages are together compared to the zero line and divergence to tell traders when it’s a good time to buy some long-term securities. It’s common to use the Klinger Oscillator with other trader tools to confirm the information gleaned from the Klinger Oscillator. Because the Klinger oscillator is the king of Kling.
