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