1. Technical Indicators (Price & Volume Based)

These help analyze price trends, momentum, and possible reversal points:

Trend Indicators

Moving Averages (MA):

Simple MA (SMA) & Exponential MA (EMA) track the average price over time.

Crossovers (e.g., 50-day crossing 200-day) are strong buy/sell signals.

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):

Measures momentum and trend changes. A bullish crossover happens when MACD line crosses above the signal line.

Momentum Indicators

RSI (Relative Strength Index):

Ranges from 0–100. Overbought >70, Oversold <30.

Stochastic Oscillator:

Compares a particular closing price to a range of its prices over time. Good for spotting overbought/oversold conditions.

Volatility Indicators

Bollinger Bands:

Bands expand/contract with volatility. Price touching outer bands often signals reversal or breakout.

ATR (Average True Range):

Measures volatility; helps set stop losses based on how much a stock typically moves.

Volume Indicators

Volume:

Volume confirms price moves—higher volume = stronger move.

OBV (On-Balance Volume):

Adds volume on up days and subtracts on down days to track accumulation/distribution.

2. Fundamental Indicators (Company Health & Valuation)

Used mostly by swing traders or long-term investors:

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E)

Revenue Growth

Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Return on Equity (ROE)

Free Cash Flow

These show how profitable and financially stable the company is.

3. Sentiment Indicators

Gauge how traders or investors feel about the market:

VIX (Volatility Index):

Measures market fear. High VIX = fear (often a buying opportunity).

Put/Call Ratio:

High = bearish sentiment, Low = bullish.

Short Interest Ratio:

High short interest can mean bearish sentiment or potential for a short squeeze.

Pro Trader Tip:

No single indicator is enough on its own.

Pros usually combine indicators for confirmation—e.g., RSI for entry, MA for trend, and volume for confirmation.

If you want, I can show you how to apply these indicators to a specific stock chart or trading platform (like TradingView or ThinkorSwim). Let me know your style (day/swing/long-term) and tools you use!
