Stack oscillators to confirm a pullback entry and see signal drift over time.

In this lesson

Understanding RSI

  • RSI measures momentum, not direction
  • 70+ is overbought, 30- is oversold
  • Divergences can signal reversals
  • Combine RSI with trend analysis

Understanding MACD

  • MACD has two lines and a histogram
  • Crossovers generate buy/sell signals
  • Zero line crossovers confirm trend changes
  • Best used in trending markets

Combining RSI and MACD

  • Multiple indicators agreeing = stronger signal
  • RSI for oversold/overbought, MACD for trend
  • Look for confluence of signals before entry
  • Divergences in both indicators are powerful

Options Trading with Oscillators

  • Oversold + support = buy calls
  • Overbought + resistance = consider puts
  • Divergences offer asymmetric opportunities
