$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  📊 TA Education: Read the Market, Trade Smarter, Get Rewarded RSI + Moving Averages — Simple Tools, Powerful When Used Correctly Technical analysis isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about understanding probability, momentum, and risk. This post breaks down two of the most commonly used indicators — RSI and Moving Averages — in a simple, intuitive way, and highlights how traders misuse them. ⸻ 🔍 Indicator #1: RSI (Relative Strength Index) What RSI actually measures: 👉 The speed and strength of recent price movements. RSI oscillates between 0–100: • Above 70 → strong momentum / overextended • Below 30 → weak momentum / oversold ❌ Common mistake “RSI is above 70, so I should short.” This is one of the biggest beginner

🌟🌟🌟I like to use the Engulfing  candlestick pattern as it signals a change of momentum. 1.  The Bullish Engulfing Pattern occurs at the bottom of a downtrend & signals a powerful reversal to the upside. A small red bearish candle is followed by a massive green bullish candle that completely covers the body of the previous day. It is a Buy signal. NVIDIA in Oct 25. After a brief dip NVDA formed a Bullish Engulfing Candle.  The green candle was so large that it looked like it ate the previous 3 days for breakfast.  That was the signal for the rally that has pushed NVDA up over 3% on Jan 2. The opposite is the Bearish Engulfing Pattern. This appears at the peak of an uptrend and warns that the party is over. A small green bullish candle is followed by a much larger re

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ This initiative is timely and well-designed. Too many investors treat technical indicators as signals to obey, rather than tools to interpret. The real value of technical analysis lies in understanding why an indicator behaves as it does, what market condition it is best suited for, and where it tends to fail. When used correctly, indicators help frame probability, not certainty. For beginners, the biggest upgrade usually comes from learning context. Trend indicators work best in trending markets, momentum indicators lose power in ranges, and overbought or oversold does not mean imminent reversal. For experienced traders, refinement often comes from simplifying, reducing indicator overlap, and aligning signals with higher-ti

The answer is B. When a bearish gap appears during a strong uptrend, it indicates a shakeout to scare out weak hands. Besides, the lesson shared highlights why two-candlestick patterns are about context and confirmation, not just candle shapes. The “50% midpoint rule” is especially useful — the depth of penetration clearly shows who controls the market. I pay the most attention to Engulfing patterns and Harami Crosses. Engulfing candles signal a decisive shift in control, while a Harami Cross often warns that momentum is exhausted, prompting me to slow down and wait for confirmation. I also like the discussion on Thrusting Lines and gaps, which reminds me that not every counter-move is a real reversal. If price can’t reclaim the midpoint, I treat it as an attempt, not a signal, and stay p

The "Gapping Down" Drama and The Anatomy of a Perfect Shakeout!

🌟🌟🌟A bearish gap appears during a strong uptrend.  What does it indicate?  The correct answer is B.  It is a shakeout to scare out weak hands. Explanation: Why Bears Fell into Their Own Trap A bearish gap during a strong uptrend is most often interpreted as a shakeout.  It is also known as a bear trap or an exhaustion gap. The sudden drop in price serves to scare out less confident investors also known as "weak hands" who then sell their positions, often right before the ordinary uptrend resumes. This is a temporary disruption in the upward momentum.  It is not a definitive end to the trend itself. Why the other answers are incorrect : A. A guaranteed trend reversal: Technical analysis does not offer guarantees.  While a gap can signal a reversal under sp

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   One indicator is never enough. Context matters more than signals. Many traders misuse technical indicators by treating them as buy or sell buttons. In reality, indicators are best understood as questions, not answers. For example: Momentum indicators such as RSI tell you how stretched a move is, not when it will reverse. Trend indicators such as moving averages help you identify direction, but lag during fast transitions. Volatility tools like Bollinger Bands describe expansion and contraction, not guaranteed breakouts. The most effective approach is confluence: Use trend to define bias. Momentum to assess strength. Volume or volatility to manage risk and timing. If indicators disagree, stay patient. When they align, s
