The Adaptive Stochastic Oscillator (ASO) was first introduced in December 1992 in STOCKS & COMMODITIES magazine. The article was called "Stochastic RSI And Dynamic Momentum Index" by Tushar Chande. He was an author of the article and creator of the indicator. ASO represents an attempt of optimization of stochastic oscillator, as well as the method to calculate the last close price ratio to maximum/ minimum for a definite period of time. The main difference is that calculation of ASO accounts for present volatility. The faster price moves, the less oscillator window becomes and its sensibility grows. This way adaptive stochastic oscillator unites advantages of both quick and slow stochastic indicator.
Forex market has its driving forces. Such forces are participants of market. For clarity, it is accepted to divide them into several types: bulls, bears, pigs, rabbits, hogs, lambs. In this zoo, driving forces are exactly bulls and bears. Their clear intentions and determination can greatly influence currency rates. This terminology was adopted from stock market, where emotions play not the last role in movement of quotes, thus, analogy with animals and their typical behaviour provides a clear idea on psychology of market participant.
