Ultimate Oscillator

Ultimate Oscillator is a technical indicator, which was developed by Larry Williams in 1976 to measure an asset price momentum on multiple timeframes. Using the weighted average of three different timeframes, the indicator has a lower volatility and less trading signals in comparison with other oscillators, which use one timeframe. Buy and sell signals generate after divergences. Ultimate Oscillator generates less divergence signals than other oscillators, through its multi-timeframe construction.
