Indicators Decoded — AXIOM Education Series Book 6

LEVEL 3 · READING PRICE · BOOK 6

Picks up exactly where Candlestick Patterns (Book 5) leaves off. Book 5 asked you to judge a candle's size by eye, against its last ten neighbours, and promised a later book would do the same job with a number. This is that book.

The one claim it makes: no indicator contains information the chart did not already have. Every one is a transformation — and knowing which transformation is the difference between using a tool and believing in one.

• Every formula shown in full, so you can rebuild any of them in a spreadsheet and get the same answer
• Four families, four questions — trend, momentum, volatility, volume — and the rule that saves most charts: combine across families, never within them
• The moving average, built by hand: SMA versus EMA, what the period really changes, and why a setting chosen from a backtest is picking the winner after the race
• ATR — the one worth adopting: why True Range takes the largest of three, and the sizing formula that gives you a bigger position in a calm market at identical risk
• RSI and the trouble with "overbought" — why 70 means a strong trend, not an expensive one, and what that misreading costs
• MACD and Bollinger Bands, both built from things you already understand — including the two popular band uses that are exact opposites
• Volume, and the number your FX platform calls volume — OBV, and what tick count can and cannot tell you
• Fibonacci: the mathematics and the mythology — 0.500 is not a Fibonacci ratio, five levels cover half the swing, and self-fulfilment is a real edge if you name it
• One tool per question, a coherent four-part stack, and an honest test with costs included

Five full-colour diagrams, every formula on one page, a printable card, a glossary and sources. Assumes Books 1 to 5 and nothing else.
