Quest Diagnostics Incorporated Technical Oscillators - DGX

From the Weekend Report 8/27/2010: The Wilder RSI is favorable, and becoming more so, but there is not yet enough strength here to trigger a buy signal. There is a favorable category change from last week's close.

DGX: Wilder's RSI with Candlestick Chart.

Wilder's RSI is depicted by the black line. The axis on the left marks it's values from 0 to 100. Ordinarily it will be in the range between 70 and 30. When it breaks out, say, below 20 or above about 80, the event is taken as a buy or sell signal.

Float the cursor over the graph for a longer view of this Indicator.

The traditional Wilder RSI uses a period of 14 trading sessions. The number 14 represents a half cycle of what he believed to be a 28 session wave. This estimate seems pretty accurate even in today's markets. However it is also possible to calibrate the period to the short term frequency of an individual stock issue, which is what is done in the following chapter.
