What Are Indicators?

Technical indicators are mathematical calculations based on price, volume, or open interest. They help identify:

Trend Direction

Is the market going up, down, or sideways?

Momentum

How strong is the current move?

Volatility

How much is price fluctuating?

Volume

Is there conviction behind moves?

Indicator Categories

Identify market direction and trend strength:

  • SMA (Simple Moving Average): Smooths price over N periods
  • EMA (Exponential MA): More weight to recent prices
  • WMA (Weighted MA): Linear weight distribution
  • ADX (Average Directional Index): Trend strength 0-100
  • Parabolic SAR: Trailing stop and trend reversal
