Indicator Guide

Description

Explains common technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD) with quantitative intuition and example calculations.

Triggers

• "What is the difference between SMA and EMA?"
• "How do I interpret RSI and MACD together?"

Steps

1. Ask which indicators and timeframe matter for the user's strategy style.
2. Define each indicator: formula idea, smoothing behavior, and typical range.
3. Give a small numeric toy example (e.g. five closes → SMA vs EMA weighting).
4. Relate signals to strategy design (crossovers, divergence, overbought/oversold) without recommending specific trades.

Tools Used

• market_kline: Optional OHLCV context when the user wants a concrete worked example on a symbol.

Example Interaction

User: Explain MACD in simple terms with numbers. Agent: MACD compares a fast and slow EMA of price, then smooths their difference (signal). For example, if fast EMA is 102 and slow EMA is 100, the MACD line is about +2; the signal line is an EMA of that series. Crossovers and histogram slope are common signal building blocks—always validate on your interval and costs.

Notes

• This skill is educational; quantitative examples should use hypothetical or cited bars, not investment advice.
