What technical indicators does DocStoX calculate?
Moving averages (SMA 20/50/200 and EMA 9/20/50/200), RSI (14 and 9), MACD (12/26/9), Bollinger Bands (20, 2), ATR (14) and ATR %, 20-day annualised historical volatility, ADX (14) with +DI and −DI, Supertrend (7, 3), Stochastic (14,3,3), CCI (20), Williams %R (14), MFI (14), ROC (10), OBV, VWAP, pivot levels and candlestick patterns — plus derived signals such as golden cross, RSI oversold or overbought, and 52-week highs and lows.
How often are the indicators updated?
They are recomputed from daily price data after the market close, once the day’s bhavcopy has been ingested. The terminal shows the as-of date of the snapshot it is displaying, so you always know how fresh the reading is. The chart overlays and RSI/MACD panes are computed live from the same daily bars the candles are drawn from, so they can never drift out of sync with the chart.
How is the composite bullish/bearish reading calculated?
It is a weighted vote of the directional indicators only — price versus its 50 and 200-day averages, Supertrend, MACD, the +DI/−DI spread and rate of change — scored from −100 (bearish) to +100 (bullish). Oscillators such as RSI, Stochastic, CCI, Williams %R and MFI deliberately do NOT vote, because being overbought or oversold is a condition, not a direction; they appear as caveats beside the dial instead. Indicators with no data abstain rather than counting as neutral, so the reading reflects real coverage. It is a summary of what the indicators currently say, not a recommendation.
Does an RSI below 30 mean a stock is a buy?
No. An RSI below 30 only says price has fallen fast relative to its own recent history. Stocks in a genuine decline routinely stay oversold for months while the business deteriorates. Momentum readings are best used to time an idea you already believe in on fundamental grounds, not to generate the idea.
Can technical analysis replace fundamental analysis?
They answer different questions. Technicals describe how a stock is currently being traded — trend, momentum, volatility, participation. They say nothing about whether the business earns good returns or what it is worth. DocStoX shows both on the same page for that reason: use valuation to decide what to own, and technicals for context on the price you are paying.
Technical indicators describe past price and volume. They are provided for research and education, are not investment advice, and no indicator or threshold predicts future returns.
