The Only Overbought Oversold Indicator That Works – Video
Today, we’re going to talk about why overbought and oversold levels are causing you to lose a great deal of money. They used to cause me to lose a lot of money too, and the whole thing is a joke. It’s really deceiving and there are three ways to measure it. However, only one of them works and it’s not the one you would expect. I’m going to show that with you here now, by the way, make sure that you take a look at the free indicator that I have for timing your entries.
Go to indicatorwebinar.com and I’ll share that with you absolutely free. So, overbought and oversold levels, here’s what doesn’t work: any indicator that has an overbought or oversold sign on it is nonsense. There you go, that’s my grandpa talk, alright. So why is that?
The Problem with RSI – Overbought Oversold Indicator
Because those are bounded indicators, things like stochastic RSI, things like that, and so an indicator is just a math formula. Let’s admit it, that’s what it is. Therefore, those bounded indicators have an artificial floor and ceiling. What that means is that the person who coded it put in a line in the equation saying it can’t go over 100, can’t go below 0, so it’s an artificial floor meaning it has nothing to do with price action, market movement, momentum, rate acceleration, volume, and none of that stuff. So, for example, the stochastic, why can’t the stochastic indicator exceed 100?
Trading is All About Statistical Advantages
Well, just because, well, honestly George said so. That’s it, George said so. In that case, it’s not really overbought, is it? So, then we might go to another type of indicator which is unbounded, so that would be something like MACD and so on. Now here’s the problem with those, okay?
The Problem with MACD – Overbought Oversold Indicator
They don’t have an artificial floor and ceiling in the math formula, but they’re based on moving averages such as moving average convergence divergence. So then, you have a gravity effect that you are reverting back to the mean, to the moving average. So, sure, there’s no absolute number that is blocking it from going higher or lower, but you are fighting against the odds. And really, that’s quite good because that’s what this is really all about. Trading is all about statistical advantages or as we like to say, having an edge or having the odds on your side.
It all boils down to a statistical advantage. So, artificially bounded overbought oversold indicator have no statistics about being overbought or oversold, and honestly, not much either with things like MACD that have no artificial floor or ceiling because you have that gravitational pull, the reversion to the mean dynamics, that energy that always wants to draw it back to that average.
Dealing with Pure Statistics
The third type of overbought and oversold is more reliable. So here we are dealing with pure statistics, so considering things like average true range or standard deviations, so you get past the norm on those things.
Okay, that is essentially measuring a statistical aberration and now we’re talking, alright, now we’re talking about something we can deal with, something we can trade, something we can have an edge with because the measurement itself is based on probabilities. But that’s not all, here’s another problem with those, even though it’s rare for the market to break above those standard deviations or ranges, they still will. And the problem is, how long will that last? We could get into what I call a megatrend, a surging bull market or a raging bear market, and it can stay beyond those standard deviations or ranges for a while. And then, you’re constantly fighting against that move and when do you fade it?
When do you go against it? So now we come to the issue of timing. So we can use those measurements of going beyond a standard deviation or average true range, but then we have to align that with timing as well to determine when is this move going to exhaust, because again, these megatrends can go on for a long time. Sometimes there’s no norm, but the moment you’re trading it, that becomes very important. So how do we determine timing as to when the standard deviation extreme is going to end?
Look for Momentum Shifts – Overbought Oversold Indicator
Well, the best way to do it is with actual market energy, supply, demand, and volume disparity. So, we look for momentum shifts. What’s a momentum shift? A momentum shift is where the velocity of the order starts decreasing and the volume of the orders starts to dissipate. When you get that combination, that is mathematically what a momentum shift is.
And when you combine that with an extreme of a statistical probability, or as we have talked about, standard deviations, then you have something you can trade and have the odds on your side. That’s exactly what my timing indicator does for you. It shows you momentum shifts. So yeah, head on over to indicatorwebinar.com.
I’ll spend an hour with you live, by the way, and show you how that works. At least today, they’re live. I may turn it into a recording in the future, or maybe I’ll take it down. I haven’t really decided yet.
