Abstract:

If we decide to be interested in the issue of technical analysis, we will come across a wide range of mathematical indicators. In our article we will compare the basic characteristics of the two main groups of indicators of technical analysis, namely oscillators and trend indicators. The aim of our article is to theoretically identify the basic characteristics of these two groups of indicators, their advantages and disadvantages and then verify them on the basis of real market data. In the first chapter of the article, we elaborated in detail the theoretical basis of the problem. In the following chapter, we identified the basic characteristics of the two basic groups of indicators. In the third chapter, we then determined and described the rules of the application and the settings of individual indicators, saw the results of the application and interpreted them.
