How to use the “Rate of Change” Oscillator to Pick Trend Reversal Points in Olymp Trade

What is a trend reversal?

A trend reversal is a large price change where the chart changes direction to form a new trend. And the newly formed direction goes consistently to make a new trend.

Sometimes though, pullbacks or consolidations come forth to confuse new traders.

A price consolidation/pullback is when a small counter move occurs against the trend and it is corrected before a new trend is formed.

It is a common thing for traders to confuse pullbacks to trend reversals and reversals to pullbacks – especially at the onset of a directional change.

Good news to you though, you can activate the rate of change oscillator on your chart to pick accurate trend reversal points.

What is a rate of change?

Rate of change is an oscillator  on Olymp Trade – used to determine the direction of a trend and to find its reversal points.

When you activate it, it is formed below your chart and it automatically takes the form of a line.

The rate of change oscillator moves with the chart and periodically intersects the zero level to give entry signals.
