Studies

This section introduces you to the studies, or technical indicators, available in the program.

Using technical studies, indicators, and analyses requires subjective interpretation, the consequences of which are the sole responsibility of the individual making the interpretation. We accept no responsibility or liability for the outcome of interpretations based on technical studies, indicators, and analyses displayed or created in the program.

Before you begin using studies, you should first read the instructions in this section. These instructions include information on:
