Know Sure Thing (KST) is a momentum oscillator based on the smoothed rate-of-change over four different time periods. In this regard, it is designed to capture four different price cycles. KST can be used like other unbound momentum oscillators, such as MACD, the Percent Price Oscillator and TRIX. In fact, KST closely resembles TRIX. Because it is unbound, KST is not well suited for identifying overbought and oversold conditions. Martin Pring, the creator, favored signal line crossovers and trend line breaks for signals. As with all indicators, KST should be used in combination with other analysis techniques.
