Now and then I asked what are the best technical indicators to be used in trade. I know some of you out there are endless on the hunt for the Holy Grail of technical indicators, that'll get you in and out of trade flawlessly every time. If you let me know, and in the meantime, here are a few rules of thumb:
1) it is never a good idea to trade decisions based on a signal from a single indicator. technical indicators work best when they are together, and as a part of a wider trading plan.
2) the best trading plans are simple, using a small number of stationary technical indicators along with a few other proven tools and techniques. too many indicators on a chart confuses things, sometimes even give conflicting signals.
3) Popular technical indicators are popular because they work (and also because if enough people to use them, they might be a self-fulfilling prophecy).
4) and the most critical rule of thumb: it is equally important, if not more-so, in order to know how to use overbought/oversold indicators if it is to know which is best for use.
That last point is important, so let it sink. A better question for this article could be what is the best way to overbought/oversold indicators in my practice?
As you may know, lead overbought/oversold indicators oscillators. in other words, they try to predict what price will do in the future.For example, when a security that has been trending up for a while dips down and an indicator signals that the security is "oversold", there is a good chance that the price will soon spring up back in the trend. A buying opportunity could be around the corner.
But we don't think it goes without saying that a signal from a single indicator, in particular, a leading indicator, enough to us in the trade. effects can stay in an overbought or oversold condition for a long time.An overbought or oversold signal event just us to keep an eye on a trending security to see if it actually starts to go back in the trend.
And if that happens, we take a look at a few other things to validate that this is a good trade.There is enough volume to show that there is power in the traffic back to the trend? there is great resistance or support in the way that would keep us from making the trade? is there an upcoming event around the coupon payment of company, such as a profit announcement, which could throw on price unpredictable? etc.
Getting back to the original question, which overbought/oversold indicator I know best? In my trading, I usually use the Williams% r. De Williams% R, a popular indicator created years ago by author and leading expert Larry Williams, trade works by showing the current closing price compared to the high and low of the last N days (usually 10). lectures on indicator ranges from-100 to 0. Readings in the upper range, of about-10 to 0, indicate that the security is extremely overbought while readings of about-90 to-100 suggest that it's extremely oversold.
If the Williams% R shows an extreme overbought or oversold condition in a trending security, it's time to look for this safety to relax in the trend, and then use your other marketing tools and techniques to confirm whether this another potential profitable trade.
If you want to know more about the Williams% R or to other technical indicators, is a good source the Equis International site
Pages: «1 2 [3] Show everythingA.J. Best indicator to judge overbought-oversold condition is Bollinger bandwidth (BBW).
The BBW is a statistical measure of price differential rolling average over a given period of time.
It is ideal for trading options becaaue identifies installation conditions for reversals, confirms and identifies action trigger, and volatility changes should be disclosed.

Great blog.I love the "step-by-step reasoning and rationale
Am very grateful for your videos that show how to apply a strategy, in particular, on the right edge of the chart.As you said, you were on the Board narration on the vertical in distributed.But this is somewhat understandable in video of just a few minutes. too many people who might be great at explaining options strategies, fall way short in explaining how to find the correct files on the right (high probability-not perfect) time for actually the strategies to apply and to combine all that with the determination of the actual imports and, eventually, place management techniques. This is absolutely necessary to effectively make even the most expert knowledge of the inner workings of actual trading options, in my opinion.
I am also an engineer. I am also anxious to confirm if the standard buy and hold investing method can be beaten and, in fact, if extraordinary efficiency can be achieved through options and under other vehicles and, if feasible., want to be able to certain family/friend/acquaintances with success through the process, given that most of them a very hand that approach that will allow them to control which may require a "complex" process but by small step by step progress along the path.
If your methods can achieve this and can be simplified down to reasonably straight forward steps in a global process that requires no "one more course", "a more school", "… oh, you need the additional program", and rapid fire additions of education and the associated "add on" costs, I would be very interested in seeing more of your program.
Thank you again for the videos.
AS ALWAYS, GREAT INFORMATION

I think the best overbought and oversold indicator a reversal signal when lets say a stock is in an up trend than for a few days in bound-range.
the signal is delivered with a sudden change of the PUT/CALL ratio with a considerable volume.
