The Blockcircle Set of Technical Indicators

What you’ll learn?

• Overview of the indicators used in the presenter’s trading strategy, including moving averages (simple and exponential), a slow stochastic, and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
• The importance of the 200-period and 314-period (Pi) simple moving averages as longer-term trend indicators
• Using the 8, 30, and 60-period exponential moving averages (EMAs) as dynamic support/resistance levels and for identifying short-term trends
• How price tends to move between the 8 EMA and the “bands” (30 and 60 EMAs) during trends
• The slow stochastic as a momentum oscillator to time entries, with a focus on buying when the oscillator is low and selling when it is high
• Interpreting stochastic crossovers as bullish/bearish cycle signals
• The CCI histogram as another momentum indicator, with readings above zero favoring long positions and below zero favoring short positions
• Combining price action analysis with a confluence of indicator signals to identify high-probability trading setups

The presenter emphasizes that price action is the most important factor, with the indicators serving as supplemental timing and validation tools. More details on practical applications will be covered in later videos.
