    • It can’t go to 0…

      • It is certain to default

    Yep "Oversold", "Overbought" are fools gold. The strongest trends stay pinned in OS/OB territory and last as long as they last.

    That's something you have to discover for yourself. I use price action primarily and an oscillator to filter entries but not for entry signals.

    Thanks. All TA are lagging and predictions seemed to be just like extrapolation, sometimes they work but most time they don't. Perhaps the key is to figure out when they do and when they don't.

    I actually started to study charts based on some coaching from some of you. I have been staring at them real time lately, but so far :(, especially the intraday kind. However, I am beginning to understand some patterns, as they seemed to reflect human behaviors.

    Regards,
