# ULTIMATE OSCILLATOR ## ULTIMATE OSCILLATOR **The Ultimate Oscillator** was developed by Larry Williams in 1976 to measure the price momentum of an asset across multiple timeframes. It uses the weighted averages of three different timeframes, which makes the indicator have less volatility and produce fewer trade signals compared to other oscillators that rely on a single timeframe. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
