Lesson 1: Understanding Indicators and Oscillators

Lesson Overview
Indicators and oscillators are mathematical calculations based on price and volume that help traders interpret market conditions.

What Are Indicators
Indicators help identify trends, momentum, volatility, and potential reversals.

What Are Oscillators
Oscillators move within a fixed range and help identify overbought and oversold conditions.

Lagging vs Leading Tools
Most indicators are lagging, while oscillators can provide early signals when used correctly.

Key Takeaway
Indicators support decision-making but should not replace price analysis.
