Technical Indicators

Moving averages, RSI, MACD and how to combine them.

1. Moving Averages — How simple and exponential moving averages smooth out price, which periods traders watch, and how to use them to read the trend.
2. RSI (Relative Strength Index) — What the RSI measures, what "overbought" and "oversold" really mean, and why strong stocks can stay overbought for a long time.
3. MACD — How the MACD line, signal line and histogram work together to show trend direction and momentum shifts.
4. Relative Strength (RS) Rating — What an RS rating or rank measures, how a percentile score works, and how traders use it to focus on market leaders without confusing it with RSI.
5. VWAP — What the volume-weighted average price is, how it is calculated, and why day traders and big institutions watch it so closely.
6. Bollinger Bands & ATR — Two ways to measure volatility: bands that stretch and squeeze around price, and the average true range that tells you how far a stock typically moves in a day.
