2. How Does Technical Indicator Work?

This chart can be compared with the price chart of security.

here's another tip... be careful not to use too many indicators... meaning that you should use indicators that are truly independent of each other so they aren't the same types.
If you use two indicators that are designed to do the same thing you aren't getting true confirmation.
