Signals + Your System — Improve Decision Quality
Add simple filters (S/R + trend/MA(20/50) + RSI(14)) to avoid chasing tops. Pick a style (swing H1/H4 vs intraday M15) and align targets/stops. Learn when to skip despite a signal (spread/news/vol/time). Decide "take or pass" on two real signals and write a 5-line mini-playbook.
6.1Confluence filters: S/R + trend/MA + RSI (primer)
Trade away from nearby barriers; entries into "fresh air" have cleaner follow-through.
Bias up when MA20 > MA50 and both slope up; bias down when MA20 < MA50 and both slope down.
>70 = strong up momentum (can be overheated); <30 = strong down momentum (can be oversold). Avoid buying "into the ceiling" or selling "into the floor" unless planning a reversal strategy (not in this course).
Filters are not magic; they reduce low-quality entries.
