Results: Based on the results obtained, the indicators are divided into efficiency groups; recommendations for the application of each oscillator are given. The result of the study is the development of the most effective strategies for the usage of technical analysis indicators that have passed the test. The strengths and weaknesses of each formed strategy are highlighted.
