Common Issues & FAQ
Q: What is a good technical score? A: Above 70 indicates positive momentum. 80+ suggests strong bullish trend. However, very high scores may indicate overbought conditions.
Q: How often does this change? A: Technical scores can change daily based on price action. They're more volatile than value or quality scores.
Q: Should I buy high technical scores? A: High scores indicate momentum but not necessarily entry points. Some traders prefer buying as scores are rising from lower levels.
