Lesson 4 of 4

Intro to Indicators

Indicators are calculations plotted on your chart to help interpret price. A few staples:

  • Moving Average (MA) — smooths price to reveal the trend.
  • RSI — flags when a market may be overbought or oversold.
  • MACD — gauges momentum and trend shifts.

Use them wisely

Indicators are derived from price, so they lag it. They work best as confirmation alongside support/resistance and trend analysis — not as standalone buy/sell signals.
