Oscillators

Oscillators are designed to provide signals regarding overbought and oversold conditions. Their signals are mostly useful at the extremes of their scales and are triggered when a divergence occurs between the price of the underlying currency and the oscillator. Crossing the zero line, when applicable, usually generates direction signals. Examples of the major types of oscillators are moving averages convergence-divergence (MACD), momentum and relative strength index (RSI).

I just wish to say one thing. Deleting whole thing isn't good idea even you feel doing it. I say that from position that blogs like yours documenting now 5 years journey are inspiration to starting forex traders. I remember that few years ago when I wasn't forex trading at all but was on demo that I found your blog. It was so interesting that I read through all posts about forex trading. You don't get anything with deleting about forex trading and some others may lose. Let it be win win situation even if you don't post anymore about forex trading
