Indicators That Earn Their Place
Four indicators, each taken apart until you know what it is really measuring — and a final rule for how few you need.
- Who it is for
- Anyone whose chart has six indicators on it and no more clarity than before.
- Before you start
- Reading a Candle Chart, and Levels, Trend and Retracement.

- Read RSI without treating overbought as a reason to sell
- Read MACD and its histogram as one picture
- Choose two indicators that do not say the same thing twice
