Indicators describe what's already happening. They don't predict.
On balance volume is a running tally of volume that leads price. We tested it over eight years: the raw signal is a coin flip, but as a trend confirmation it earned a 1.89 to 2.40 profit factor on gold and silver. The twist: adding a volume filter helps on Bitcoin and wrecks it on Forex.
nina-carr · · 30 min read Indicators describe what's already happening. They don't predict price. We lean on a short list: MACD, RSI, EMA structure. Each guide covers how to read one without lagging into bad entries. We also cover when the indicator misleads, and what combinations actually filter noise instead of adding more of it. Price action is the partner here, not the indicator alone.
Indicators We tested Williams %R across eight years on gold, EUR/USD and Bitcoin. The famous buy-at-minus-80 bounce wins often and still loses. The trend-pullback is the play that travels. Full numbers, real charts.
Indicators Learn how the average directional index (ADX) measures trend strength, what ADX readings mean, and how to use +DI/-DI to find trending trade entries.
Indicators What ATR measures, how to calculate it, and how to use it for stop losses, position sizing, and volatility filters. Includes live forward-test results.
Indicators VWAP explained: how it works, how to read it, and how day traders use it to find high-probability entry levels based on real institutional volume.
Indicators The stochastic oscillator is taught as an oversold bounce. We tested it over 8 years: that read loses on gold. Here is the %K/%D play the data rewards, by market.
Indicators StochRSI moves faster than regular RSI but generates more noise. Here's how it works, best settings for forex and crypto, and a live-tested 64% win rate setup.
Indicators We swept RSI period 7/9/14/21 and the 70/30 vs 80/20 levels across gold, EUR/USD and Bitcoin on three timeframes. There is no magic RSI setting, but the data says exactly which period and levels pay for each play. Real numbers, real charts.
Indicators Learn how to use the RSI indicator for trading. Overbought/oversold levels, divergence signals, and the 14-period settings that work in 2025-2026.
Indicators The MACD indicator has two famous crosses. We tested both across eight years on gold, EUR/USD, BTC and oil. The slower zero-line cross is the real edge, with real numbers.
