How to Setup
your Technical Indicators
on your Charts
Technical Analysis is the predicting of future financial price action based on the review of past price movements. Similar to weather forecasting, technical analysis is NOT a guaranteed prediction about the future direction of price; however, technical analysis can help investors anticipate what is “likely” to happen to price action over time. Day Traders use a wide variety of charts and technical indicators that show price behavior over time.
Technical indicators look to predict the future price levels, or simply the current trend of price action. They do not analyze any part of the fundamental business, like earnings, revenue and profit margins. A Technical Indicator is a result of mathematical calculations based on indications of price and/or volume. The values obtained are used to forecast probable price changes. Many day traders utilize indicators as a way to time their entries and exits for trades.
Technical indicators can be found above or below the chart, and others are plotted on top of prices. The indicators help to predict where future prices are going and whether or not the stock is in an overbought oroversold condition.
Overbought: A technical condition that occurs when there has been a lot of buying and the price of the stock is considered too high and susceptible to a decline.
Oversold: A technical condition that occurs when there has been a lot ofselling and the price of the stock is considered too low and a rally in prices is anticipated.
Essentially traders use technical indicators for two things:
To generate buy and sell signals
To confirm price movement
There are two main types of indicators: leading and lagging
Watch the video below to learn more information on how to setup your technical indicators on your charts.
