What is trading and how it works, explained simply: instruments (stocks, ETFs, options), styles and timeframes, strategy, psychology and risk — plus where AiTrading67 fits.

Among the most widely used indicators in technical analysis, RSI and Stochastic are probably also among the most abused — because they look easy to read. Above a threshold means overbought, below means oversold. Most people stop there, and that's exactly where the errors begin.

In classic technical analysis many stop at price, moving averages and oscillators. But one question often goes unanswered: is money really flowing in, or is the move hollow? That's where the CMF — Chaikin Money Flow — becomes useful. Not an oracle, but read well it answers a valuable question.

What ADX, +DI and −DI actually are: the key point is that ADX doesn't tell you whether a trend is bullish or bearish — only how strong it is. Read well, it separates a market moving with real force from one that's just making noise.

One of the most common mistakes in technical analysis is believing a breakout is enough on its own. Price clears resistance, the conditioned reflex fires — valid signal, get in. In reality a breakout alone is worth little: the market is full of apparent breaks that fail immediately.

Everyone uses support and resistance, but often too loosely: every high becomes a resistance, every low a support, and the chart fills with lines that serve no purpose. The point isn't drawing many levels — it's knowing which ones actually carry operational weight.
