Indicators support — they do not replace — the chart
In Module 3 you learned support, resistance, and trends from raw price. Indicators are mathematical transforms of price (or volume) plotted below or on the chart. They summarise what already happened — they do not predict the future with certainty.
Healthy use
- Confirm trend direction you already see on higher timeframes.
- Filter setups that conflict with momentum (e.g. RSI divergence as a warning, not a signal alone).
- Keep charts clean — two to three tools maximum while learning.
Never enter a trade only because an indicator turned green or crossed a line. Context from structure + risk plan (Module 4) comes first.
