KDJ

The KDJ indicator is a combination of 3 lines: fast, medium and slow, crossing of which gives a signal to open a trade.

A buy signal is formed when the lines are crossed: the red line is above the blue one, and the blue line above the green one. A sell signal is received when crossing in the opposite order: the red line is below the blue one, the blue line is below the green one. Note that the farther apart the lines are, the stronger the signal. The calculation is based on the KD - Slow indicator. The indicator is calculated by the following formula:
