THE LEARNING CYCLE

Typical evolution cycle in the Learning curve for traders:

- Phase 1: The trader doesn’t know any indicator at all

- Phase 2: The trader learns the 2 or 3 basic indicators

- Phase 3: As long as the trader improves his learning curve, but fails in his
final results, he researches to find “the best indicator”. The more complex
and more rare, the better.

- Phase 4: The charts look like a work of art by picasso

- Phase 5: The trader removes all the indicators and finally leaves just 1 or 2.
He finally masters these incicators.

Price vs Indicator.

Price. The price discounts and includes all the action taking place in financial
activity. Supply and demand over time is what "paints" the bars and these in turn
draw the graphic patterns that can help us interpret what is happening and
therefore create conjecture of what may happen in a future.

Indicator. It’s a mathematical representation. It’s a function of the last bars drawn
on the graphics platform. Therefore by their morphology is associated with a
delay. (Lagging indicator)

Ej: Formula RSI


100
RSI =
______
100 -
1 + RS

RS = Average x days’ up closes / Average x days’


down closes
