Indicators Overview
Learn How Trading Indicators Really Work
Introduction
Trading indicators are tools that help you understand market behavior. They do not predict the future. Indicators work best when they confirm what price is already doing.
Many beginners lose money because they rely only on indicators. This page helps you build the correct mindset before using individual tools.
What Is a Trading Indicator?
A trading indicator is a mathematical calculation based on price, volume, or time. Indicators help traders analyze trends, momentum, and market participation.
- Confirm trend direction
- Measure momentum strength
- Identify overbought or oversold areas
- Support better trade decisions
Leading vs Lagging Indicators
Leading indicators try to give early signals (RSI, Stochastic).
Lagging indicators confirm trends after price moves (Moving Averages, MACD).
Beginners should focus on confirmation, not prediction.
