Momentum Oscillators
Faster and slower variants of the classic momentum oscillators: RSI, Williams %R and Rate of Change: for spotting overbought and oversold conditions on different horizons.
8 conditions of this category are available in the strategy builder and to the agent. Each one lists the operators it accepts and what it can be compared with. How conditions work is explained in Indicators and conditions.
