Oscillators compare a security's smoothed price with its price n periods ago. The value of oscillators can vary greatly depending on the number of time periods used during calculation.
The Ultimate Oscillator, developed by Larry Williams, uses weighted sums of 3 oscillators, each of which uses a different time period.
The 3 oscillators are based on Williams' definitions of buying and selling pressure.
Williams recommends that you initiate a trade following a divergence and a breakout in the Ultimate Oscillator's trend.
The Ultimate Oscillator indicator in BigCharts references the following default parameters:
Unaccepted Awards
Restricted stock awards that you have not yet accepted or declined.
Unaccepted Grants
Performance shares/units that you have not yet accepted or declined. You must accept a grant before it begins to vest.
Unaccepted Options
The number of stock options, including options that are vested and unvested,
that have been granted to you and have not yet been accepted or declined.
Unaccepted Rights
Grants that have not been accepted or declined. A participant must accept
an awarded grant before he or she can exercise it.
Unadjusted Cost Basis

Uncollected Shares
The total number of shares that have not settled as of
the date and time displayed.
Underlying Move
The percentage by which you believe the underlying equity or index will move during the life of the options. Underlying Move may be a positive or negative number. It will help determine the potential profit realized on the multi-leg option trading strategies you selected.
Underlying Ratings
Bond ratings are provided by Moody's and S&P which indicate each organization's assessment of the relative credit risk of the issuer of a Municipal bond. The higher the rating the better the rating agency feels about the relative credit risk of the issuer and its financial strength. In the case of insured municipal bonds, evaluating the rating of the insurer as well as the issuer provides a more complete assessment of the relative credit risk of that bond. If we do not receive an underlying rating, dashes will be displayed.
Underlying Security
Securities that must be delivered if stock options are executed.
For portfolio or account analysis, this refers to dollar amounts and percentages for securities held in your accounts and mutual funds.
Underlying Security's Full Name
Name of the underlying security for an option contract (e.g.,
International Business Machines for option symbol -ibmkk).
Underlying Security's Option Symbol
The option symbol used to identify a security so that
you can trade or quote it. Option symbols begin with a dash (-) and consist of three parts: the
underlying security's symbol, the expiration month, and the strike price.
Underlying Symbol
The trading symbol for the equity or index you would like to use as the basis for your multi-leg option inquiry.
Underlying Volume
For options contracts, the number of shares for the option's underlying stock or index traded during the current day on all exchanges where the security is traded.
Under Water
A stock option for which the option's grant price is higher than the current market price for the underlying stock.
Unexercised Stock Options
This refers to a stock option that has vested, but has not yet been exercised.
Unexercised Stock Options Account
This is a stock compensation plan account containing
information about all of your stock option grants. These grants include those that are
unvested and that are vested.

Unit Trust Fund (REIT)
Unit trust fund is a term used to describe a particular type of investment structure which typically represents an ownership unit in a pooled investment or limited partnership or master limited partnership interest.
Partnerships are considered pass-through entities for tax purposes and therefore have special tax considerations. If you hold units of a partnership, you are generally treated as a partner for tax purposes and will be issued a Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) rather than a Form 1099 form for use in filling out your tax return. It lists the partner's share of income, deductions, credits, etc. Certain partnerships may have elected to be taxed as a corporation in the U.S. and will furnish a Form 1099 rather than a Schedule K-1. Please see the partnership website, SEC filings, or most recent shareholder report for further details about tax treatment.
A large number of unit trust funds operate in the commodities, natural resources, real estate and financial services industries. Other unit trust funds identified as Unit Trust Fund (REIT) typically represent an ownership unit in a real estate investment trust (REIT).
Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.
Illiquidity is an inherent risk associated with investing in real estate and REITs. There is no guarantee the issuer of a REIT will maintain the secondary market for its shares and redemptions may be at a price which is more or less than the original price paid. Changes in real estate values or economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry.
Unknown
For a portfolio or account analysis, Unknown

A position is considered unpriced when the price per share for a security held in the position is not available or has not been set. For example, on the day you buy shares in a mutual fund, the position may be unpriced until the next business day (for example, mutual funds are generally priced after the close of trading each business day—they are unpriced until then). This balance field is only displayed if the account has an unpriced position.
For example, on the day you buy shares in a mutual fund, the position may be unpriced until the next business day (e.g., since mutual funds are generally priced after the close of trading each business day, they are unpriced until then). This field only displays if the account has an unpriced position.

Percent comparison between the Current Market Value
of the position in the basket divided by the average cost of the positions in the basket.

and red-colored text indicates a negative number.
Unrealized Net Change %

Possible values:
Up/Down Ratio
The upside/downside ratio shows the relationship
between the volume of advancing issues and the volume of declining issues.
The upside volume is simply the sum of all volume associated with stocks that closed up in price while downside volume is the sum of all volume associated with stocks that closed down in price.
Martin Zweig, in his book Winning On Wall Street, states, "Every bull market in history, and many good intermediate advances, have been launched with a buying stampede that included one or more 9-to-1 bars" (referring to a day when the upside/downside ratio exceeds 9).
BigCharts calculates the upside/downside ratio for all markets and automatically selects the appropriate market indicator for your focus security.
For example, if you are analyzing a chart on IBM which trades on the NYSE, and you choose the Up/Down Ratio indicator, the system will automatically apply the upside/downside ratio for the NYSE.
Upper Indicators
Choose from several popular technical indicators. The
indicators are:
Use of Proceeds
The area or activities to which the funds raised from a municipal bond issue will be directed and, in turn, the source of future bond interest payments and principal repayment. For general obligation bonds, funds raised may be for general purposes, both operating and infrastructure, and payments are secured by the general taxing power of the issuer - usually a state, town, or city. Revenue bonds are categorized under terms such as "Utilities" or "Transportation."
