||||
|
||||
#### How to Read RSI:
|
||||
- **Range**: 0-100
|
||||
- **Key Levels**:
|
||||
- Above 70 = **OVERBOUGHT** (potential sell signal)
|
||||
- Below 30 = **OVERSOLD** (potential buy signal)
|
||||
- 50 = Neutral midpoint
|
||||
|
||||
#### RSI Signals:

||||
- **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes lower lows while RSI makes higher lows
|
||||
- **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes higher highs while RSI makes lower highs
|
||||
- **Overbought Exit**: RSI above 70 suggests potential reversal

||||
#### Trading Applications:
|
||||
```
|
||||
🟢 BUY Signal: RSI crosses above 30 from oversold territory

## 🎯 DIY Layout Indicators
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Stochastic RSI

**Purpose**: More sensitive momentum oscillator than regular RSI
|
||||
|
||||
#### How to Read Stochastic RSI:

||||
- **%K Line**: Fast line (more reactive)
|
||||
- **%D Line**: Slow line (smoothed %K)
|
||||
- **Key Levels**:

|
||||
- Below 20 = OVERSOLD
|
||||
- 50 = Neutral midpoint
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stochastic RSI Signals:
|
||||
- **Bullish Cross**: %K crosses above %D in oversold territory
|
||||
- **Bearish Cross**: %K crosses below %D in overbought territory

|
||||
- **VWAP Reclaim**: Price moves back above VWAP after being below
|
||||
- **VWAP Rejection**: Price fails to break through VWAP
|
||||
- **VWAP Deviation**: Large distance from VWAP suggests mean reversion
|
||||
|
||||
#### Trading Applications:
|
||||
```
|
||||
🟢 BUY Signal: Price reclaims VWAP with volume
|
||||
🔴 SELL Signal: Price breaks below VWAP with volume

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. OBV (On-Balance Volume)

|
||||
|
||||
#### OBV Signals:

## 📈 Multi-Layout Analysis Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Cross-Layout Confirmation:
|
||||
1. **AI Layout**: Provides momentum and trend analysis
|
||||
2. **DIY Layout**: Provides volume and institutional flow analysis
|
||||
3. **Consensus**: When both layouts align, confidence increases
|
||||
4. **Divergence**: When layouts conflict, exercise caution
|
||||
|
||||
### Risk Management Based on Indicators:
|
||||
- **Lower Timeframes** (5m-15m): Use tight stops, higher leverage
|
||||
- **Higher Timeframes** (4H+): Use wider stops, lower leverage
|
||||
- **Volatility Adjustment**: Use ATR bands for stop placement
|
||||
|
||||
### Entry Confirmation Checklist:
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ RSI/Stoch RSI in appropriate zone
|
||||
✅ MACD showing momentum alignment
|
||||
✅ EMAs supporting trend direction
|
||||
✅ VWAP position confirming bias
|
||||
✅ OBV confirming volume flow
|
||||
✅ Smart Money zones respecting levels
|
||||
```

|
||||
## 🚨 Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Over-reliance on Single Indicator**: Always use multiple confirmations
|
||||
2. **Ignoring Volume**: Price moves without volume are often false signals
|
||||
3. **Fighting the Trend**: Don't trade against strong trending markets
|
||||
4. **Ignoring Timeframes**: Higher timeframes override lower timeframes
|
||||
5. **No Risk Management**: Always use stop losses and position sizing
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Wait for Confirmation**: Don't jump on first signal
|
||||
2. **Use Multiple Timeframes**: Check higher timeframes for context
|
||||
3. **Respect Key Levels**: Support/resistance levels are critical
|
||||
4. **Monitor Volume**: Volume confirms price movements
|
||||
5. **Practice Risk Management**: Never risk more than you can afford to lose
