- Technical AnalysisIntermediate11 minRSI — relative strength index
What RSI measures, why "above 70 means sell" destroys accounts, and the two ways professionals actually use it.
- Technical AnalysisAdvanced11 minDivergence: when price and momentum disagree
One of the most useful signals in technical analysis and one of the most abused. What it genuinely indicates, and why trading it alone loses money.
- Technical AnalysisBeginner10 minWhy two apps show you different charts
Same stock, same day, two screens — two different closing prices, two different volume bars and two different RSI readings. Where the differences come from, and which of them matter.
- Technical AnalysisIntermediate12 minMoney flow: when turnover disagrees with price
RSI asks whether it went up. Money flow asks whether money followed it up. The divergence between the two is worth more than either reading alone.
- Technical AnalysisAdvanced14 minThe bar where nothing traded
The scan says the stock just went from an RSI of 50 to an RSI of 81 and broke a two-month range on rising volume. The whole session was 3,400 shares, and the two hours before the move are drawn on your chart as a hundred and twenty candles in which nothing happened at all.

The most misunderstood word in trading. In a strong trend RSI can stay above 70 for months.
Read the lesson → - OversoldTechnical analysis
It describes momentum, not value. In a strong downtrend an oscillator can print oversold all the way down, and bounces top out near 55–60 rather than 70.

In a strong uptrend pullbacks bottom near 40–50, not 30. Waiting for the textbook oversold reading in a trending stock means never buying at all.
Read the lesson → - Money Flow IndexTechnical analysis
RSI with the money attached. Where RSI asks whether it went up, this asks whether anyone paid for it to.
Read the lesson → - Indicator redundancyTechnical analysis
RSI, Stochastic, Williams %R, CCI and the MACD histogram all agreeing is one opinion reported five times. New information has to come from a different input — volume, breadth, relative strength.
Read the lesson → - StochasticTechnical analysis
It asks a different question from RSI — where you finished, not how one-sided the moves were. In a trend it pins at an extreme for weeks, so it belongs in ranges only.
