Description & Settings
Retail traders consistently lose capital trying to catch market tops and bottoms using bounded momentum oscillators, traditional tools like the RSI or Stochastic are mathematically flawed for institutional execution because they are trapped within a strict 0 to 100 range. When an algorithmic fund initiates a massive directional trend, these retail indicators immediately hit the overbought ceiling and stay paralyzed there for hours, this creates a dangerous illusion of exhaustion that tricks amateur traders into shorting a market that is fundamentally accelerating, proprietary trading firms and quantitative hedge funds do not rely on bounded momentum, they measure the market using pure statistical variance through a mathematical model known as the Z-Score.
