```python
forge.ta.chaikin_osc(high: ArrayLike, low: ArrayLike, close: ArrayLike, volume: ArrayLike, fast_period: int = 3, slow_period: int = 10, method: str = 'ema') -> np.ndarray
```

Chaikin oscillator: the fast average of accumulation and distribution minus the slow one.

``method`` is the average: ``ema`` (the usual one), ``sma``, ``smma`` or ``lwma``.
