With practice, you’ll be able to further understand how your indicators work and be more profitable with it
We’ll go on to a first indicator now which is the RSI
We’ll start with the RSI
*R.S.I (RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX)*
The R.S.I is a popular indicator used by a lot of traders, it’s very straight forward.

The R.S.I is a popular indicator used by a lot of traders, it’s very straight forward.
It is used to identify reversal points in the market.
How it works;
The R.S.I is scaled from 0 to 100 from bottom to top. When the R.S.I line crosses above the 70 mark
towards 100, it indicates overbought(the market has been buying, and there are not enough bulls in the market anymore, and the market is set to reverse). when it crosses below the 30 mark towards 0, it
Indicates over sold (the market has been selling, and there are not enough bears in the market anymore, and the market is set to reverse).

Further explaining how It can be used to identify new trend, looking at the diagram below, you can see that the breakout and expansion of the band helped in identifying a new trend after ranging for a while.
So basically the bands expands when there is a potential change in trend

2. In identifying new trend
when a candle breaks *above* the band and the band expands, it means that it is time to buy as it forms a new trend, when a candle breaks *below* the band and the band expands, it means that it is time to sell as it forms a new trend.
when a candle breaks *above* the band and the band expands, it means that it is time to buy as it forms a new trend, when a candle breaks *below* the band and the band expands, it means that it is time to sell as it forms a new trend.
The diagram above shows a downtrend after a break below
If you had entered at the break you would have caught some pips

Now remember,there are two main ways to trade breakouts: the aggressive way and the safe
way.
The Safe way; it involves after a break, you wait for a retest.
The aggressive way; it involves placing a trade as soon as a breakout occurs.

Parabolic SAR
Unlike other Indicators, parabolic SAR is used to trend stop and reversal points
