Relative indicators review prices over a specific time span. That time span is the basis for this indicators ability to tell if the prices are high or low (overbought and oversold). This type of indicator takes the highest and lowest price into account and it assumes the prices will remain stable.
When a sudden uptrend or downtrend occurs, the prices are no longer stable relative to the time span, thus these type of indicators would produce inaccurate buy and sell signals.
A relative indicator uses a time frame. This time frame is the span of the time where the high and low prices are evaluated. If this period is to small, then the relative indicators would produce overbought and oversold signals. So, it is very important to set a span that is big enough to find decent high and low prices.
