Understand the indicators behind these signals
Technical indicators help traders measure momentum, trend, overextension and participation. Use this hub to understand the main indicators connected to screened stock ideas on MyStockHarbor, then go deeper into the individual guides below.
Common types of stock indicators
Momentum indicators such as RSI and MACD help traders judge whether buying or selling pressure may be strengthening or fading. These tools are often used when reviewing oversold stocks, overbought stocks and divergence setups.
Trend filters such as the 200-day moving average help traders step back and judge the bigger picture. A stock trading above or below a major moving average can change how a setup is interpreted.
Volume-based clues can also matter. Unusual volume does not guarantee anything, but it can help confirm whether a breakout, pullback or momentum move is attracting real participation.
Put the indicators into live chart practice
