Ultimate Oscillator Oscillators compare a security's smoothed price with its price n periods ago. The value of oscillators can vary greatly depending on the number of time periods used during calculation. The Ultimate Oscillator, developed by Larry Williams, uses weighted sums of three oscillators, each of which uses a different time period. The three oscillators are based on Williams' definitions of buying and selling pressure. Williams recommends that you initiate a trade following a divergence and a breakout in the Ultimate Oscillator's trend.
The Ultimate Oscillator uses the following default parameters:
First oscillator time period: 7 bars Second oscillator time period: 14 bars Third oscillator time period: 28 bars Back

Up/Down Ratio The upside/downside ratio shows the relationship between the volume of advancing issues and the volume of declining issues. The upside volume is the total volume of all stocks that closed up in price, while downside volume is the total volume of all stocks that closed down in price. An upside/downside ratio in excess of nine signals an advancing market.
BigCharts calculates the upside/downside ratio for all markets and automatically selects the appropriate market indicator.
Upgrade What happens when an analyst or firm makes a positive change in their rating or recommendation on a particular stock. For example, an analyst may upgrade a rating from "hold" to "buy."
