Stochastic oscillator

A Stochastic Oscillator is a type of indicator that is used in trading to help tell when the market might be changing. It looks at how prices have moved over a certain period and then compares them to a moving average. It does this by creating a number between 0 and 100. If the number is close to 100, it could mean that prices will be going up, and if it's closer to 0 it could mean prices will be going down. So it helps traders make decisions regarding when they want to buy and sell.
