Buy Signal: When Stochastic crosses above 20 from below (oversold zone), especially if accompanied by bullish price action.

Sell Signal: When Stochastic crosses below 80 from above (overbought zone), particularly when price shows weakness.

Pro Tip: Use the 14-period setting (SK-14, SD-3) for daily charts. Wait for the %K line to cross above the %D line in oversold territory for stronger confirmation.

Buy Signal: MACD line crosses above signal line while both are below zero, or bullish divergence (price makes lower low, MACD makes higher low).

Sell Signal: MACD line crosses below signal line while both are above zero, or bearish divergence (price makes higher high, MACD makes lower high).

Pro Tip: Standard settings (12, 26, 9) work well for daily charts. The histogram expanding shows trend acceleration—watch for histogram contraction as an early warning of trend exhaustion.

Buy Signal: Volume spike on price breakout above resistance—shows institutional accumulation and confirms the move.

Sell Signal: High volume on breakdown below support, or declining volume during rally (distribution phase).

Pro Tip: Use a 50-day moving average on volume. Spikes above 2x the average often mark significant turning points. Volume should expand in the direction of the trend.

Buy Signal: Stochastic crosses above 20 (oversold) AND MACD crosses above signal line within 1-3 bars of each other.

Sell Signal: Stochastic crosses below 80 (overbought) AND MACD crosses below signal line within 1-3 bars.

Pro Tip: This dual confirmation reduces false signals dramatically. When both indicators align, the probability of a sustained move increases by 60-70% compared to single indicator signals.

Buy Signal: Price touches lower band, then closes back inside with increasing volume. Or "squeeze" (bands tighten) followed by breakout above upper band.

Sell Signal: Price touches upper band, then closes back inside with volume. Or breakdown below lower band after squeeze.

Pro Tip: The "Bollinger Squeeze" (bands at narrowest width in 6 months) precedes explosive moves. Use 20-period bands with 2 standard deviations. 95% of price action should occur within the bands.

Buy Signal: ZigZag identifies higher swing lows in an uptrend. Buy near the new swing low with stop below the previous swing low.

Sell Signal: ZigZag shows lower swing highs in a downtrend. Sell near the new swing high with stop above the previous swing high.

Pro Tip: Use 5-8% threshold for daily charts to filter out noise. ZigZag helps identify Elliott Wave patterns and Fibonacci retracement levels by marking clear swing points.
