08bChart Studies
Every study on the chart lives in the Indicators panel, grouped the same way this page is — by what a study tells you, not by where it draws. Open a group to browse it, or type in the panel's search box to jump straight to a study by name. The Active strip at the top of the panel always shows what is currently on the chart.
Each study below gets a one-line summary and a deep dive: what it measures, how to read it, and how it fits selling puts and covered calls on the wheel.
Every overlay names itself in the chart's top-left corner, in the color it draws with. Clicking that name mutes the study — hides it without switching it off — which is how a busy chart stays readable. The Indicators panel marks muted studies so nothing goes missing silently.
Moving Averages
Smoothed lines through the closes — the reference framework everything else hangs on.
Momentum
How fast and how one-sided the recent tape has been. Oversold readings are where put premium gets rich.
RSIown paneMomentum on a 0–100 scale. Below 30 is conventionally called oversold, above 70 overbought — for a put seller, the oversold end is the interesting one.MACDown paneThe gap between two EMAs, plus a signal line and histogram. The histogram crossing zero is a rough marker for momentum changing direction.Stochasticown paneWhere the close sits inside the recent high-low range, 0–100. Reads a pullback's depth against the range rather than against an average.Stoch RSIown paneThe stochastic formula applied to RSI instead of price — where RSI sits inside its own recent range. Faster than either parent.CCIown paneHow far price has strayed from its own average, scaled by its typical deviation. Beyond ±100 marks a statistically unusual excursion.Williams %Rown paneThe stochastic upside-down: 0 to −100, with −80/−20 as the classic zones. Same information, the scale traders who learned on it expect.MFIown paneRSI's arithmetic run on price × volume instead of price alone — momentum that only counts when money actually moved.ROCown panePercent change from N bars ago. The simplest momentum reading there is — and the building block inside half the others.Ultimate Oscillatorown paneBuying pressure measured across three timeframes at once, blended so a single window's spike can't own the reading.TRIXown paneThe percent slope of a triple-smoothed EMA. Three rounds of smoothing filter out everything but the trend's actual bend.Coppock Curveown paneA slow blend of two long rate-of-change readings, designed for spotting major lows. On a daily chart it reads as patient momentum.
Trend
Whether there is a trend worth the name, which way it points, and where it officially fails.
Trendon the priceColors the bars by trend regime, read from a five-EMA ribbon. The same calculation behind the screener's Trend column, so chart and table can't disagree.ADX / DMIown pane+DI over −DI says which way; ADX says whether it's worth calling a trend at all. Under 20 is rangebound, over 25 is trending.Aroonown paneHow recently the highs and lows were set, as a percent of the window. A fresh-highs regime keeps the up line pinned near 100.Vortexown paneUp-swing and down-swing movement, each normalized by true range. The crossings of its two lines are the signal.SuperTrendon the priceAn ATR band that ratchets: it may tighten toward price but never loosen away, until price crosses it and the roles flip. Green under price, red over it.Parabolic SARon the priceDots that trail the trend and accelerate toward it the longer it runs. Price tagging a dot flips the trail to the other side.Ichimoku Cloudon the priceFive lines and a shaded cloud that answer trend, momentum and support in one glance. Every line is a range midpoint, so flat tape reads flat.Lin Reg Channelon the priceThe least-squares line through the last 100 closes, banded at two standard deviations. The trend as a statistician would draw it.ZigZagon the priceConnects only the swings that moved at least 5%, erasing everything smaller. Structure with the noise deleted — and a provisional final leg.
Volatility & Bands
How much the stock moves and whether that movement is compressing or expanding — the premium seller's weather report.
Bollinger Bandson the priceTwo standard deviations either side of the 20-day average. Price at the lower band is stretched to the downside — where put premium is often worth a look.Keltner Channelson the priceAn EMA with bands scaled by true range instead of deviation. Worth having because Bollinger exists — the two disagreeing is itself a signal.Donchian Channelson the priceThe raw 20-bar high and low, no averaging at all. A close outside yesterday's channel is a breakout by construction, not by threshold.Envelopeson the priceAn SMA shifted a fixed 2.5% up and down. Crude on purpose — the width never breathes, so a touch means the move itself was unusual.ATRown paneHow far this stock actually moves in a session, gaps included. For a premium seller it's a sizing tool: 'one ATR below spot' is a concrete distance.TTM Squeezeown paneFlags when the Bollinger bands compress inside the Keltner channel — volatility coiling — and which way the tape leans when it fires.Bollinger %Bown paneBollinger position as a single number: 1 at the upper band, 0 at the lower, outside those when price escapes the bands.BandWidthown paneThe Bollinger bands' spread as one number. Historically narrow bandwidth is the squeeze; historically wide marks a climax.Historical Volatilityown paneWhat the stock actually did, in the same units as IV. The premium seller's other half — IV rich against HV is the edge being paid for.
Volume
Where the money actually changed hands, and whether conviction sits behind the price action.
Volumeon the priceThe bars along the bottom. A move on heavy volume has conviction behind it; the same move on thin volume often gives itself back.Volume Profileon the priceVolume by price instead of by time. The widest bar is the point of control; the shaded band holds 70% of everything traded.VWAPon the priceThe volume-weighted average price everyone trading this stretch has actually paid. Above it, buyers since then are ahead; below it, underwater.OBVown paneA running total that adds volume on up closes and subtracts it on down ones. The level is meaningless; divergence against price is the message.A/D Lineown paneLike OBV, but each bar's volume counts by where the close landed in its range — closing at the high banks it all as buying, mid-range cancels.Chaikin Money Flowown paneThe A/D pressure over a rolling window, normalized by its volume — so it oscillates around zero and is comparable across names.
