One of the most important features IQ Option provides to traders is the ability to stick markers and symbols to an online diagram. To put it simply — the ability to use technical analysis. Web-based binary option platforms are rarely equipped with drawing tools and — even more rarely — with built-in indicators. The availability of technical analysis tools makes IQ Option extremely functional. Still and all, what’s the real benefit of such graphics and what’s the point of using the drawing board and indicators in the daily routine?
The Importance of Drawing
The drawing board is an essential technical analysis tool. Above all, this is due to the fact that many trading systems and a significant number of strategies are designed to think that traders rely on some elements of the diagram—for example, the support and resistance lines. Every trader chooses the lines and shapes he needs, as well as the timeframe for them, by himself. For this reason, it is extremely useful to plot markers on a diagram.
There are many ways to use such markers. Of course, the most common is to make them display trends. Trend is the most important thing in options trading, and it is of great importance to track trends. The use of the drawing board as a tool for creating graphical analysis markers and finding chart patterns— Diamond, Triangle, Three Peaks, Head & Shoulders, etc.— can be equally effective.

For example, the diagram shows that a Three Peaks pattern is generating, but to identify the entry point, i.e. the support line breakthrough point, is not an easy thing to do by sight. You can keep track of the correctness of the figure generating process and get a clear and understandable entry point only by using graphics.
The tools can be used not only to work with graphic strategies and simple patterns that are generated on the diagram. They can also be used together with indicators that are present on the platform.
Technical Analysis Indicators
It should be noted that the platform is equipped with four widely spread indicators — Bollinger bands, moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), and Alligator. All of them can be used both individually and jointly. Indicators help traders forecast the direction of price movement correctly.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger bands is one of the most popular indicators. Based on data from the moving average and standard deviations, it creates a corridor within which the price moves. Focusing on the corridor borders, we get signals for the entry. If the price breaks the lower limit, we should buy CALL options, if it breaks the top limit—PUT options are the right choice.

Moving Averages
Moving averages show the average asset price based on a predetermined time interval—for example, 14 days. If the diagram crosses the moving average, it is a signal to buy options in the direction of the breakthrough. The longer the time interval is, the more accurate are the signals. However, their number will also decrease.

RSI
Relative Strength Index (also known as RSI) is only available when working with candlestick charts. This indicator is also very popular and is one of the most widely used globally. It reflects both the strength and the magnitude of price changes. Unlike other indicators, RSI is not displayed on the chart in any form but is built in a separate window just below the chart. A lot of different strategies are based on this indicator. RSI shows asset overbought or oversold levels based on historical data. If the asset is overbought, we should buy PUT options, if it is oversold—CALL options are more preferable.

Alligator
Alligator is highly competitive with the previous indicators in terms of popularity. It is presented as three moving averages of three different periods. When the lines cross, it means that the trend is about to begin. Once all three lines start pointing in one direction, the trend begins. After that, we should follow the trend. A number of profitable and simple strategies that have been successfully used by traders worldwide are based on Alligator.

Using technical analysis indicators helps not only get completely understandable analysis data, but also unsophisticated and clear entry and exit points. Moreover, thanks to Alligator the trader can fully track all opportunities, as the proper analysis of the price movement requires not only the information that an indicator itself can provide. Quite often, for example when using Bollinger Bands, traders use support and resistance lines to get a correct and clear signal to enter. They minimize the risks faced by traders. It should be noted that it is almost impossible to run such lines without a drawing board.
The use of both indicators and a variety of graphics on the IQ Option platform is not limited. You can put all necessary markers and indicators on the same diagram to make your technical analysis even more efficient.
Also you can read about Parabolic SAR, MACD and Stochastic.
The IQ Option UK can provide significant assistance to traders as it contains all the tools required for the proper technical analysis. It allows users to identify entry and exit points much more effectively, as well to analyze the diagram and to significantly reduce the risks. You can make more money by combining indicators and diagrams to filter the received signals with different tools. It is important to note that drawing tools can not only support us when working with certain indicator-based strategies, but also serve as a basis for profitable strategies. Also, they are extremely useful for hedging and working with patterns — all this makes the IQ Option drawing panel useful and important for traders. Trading with the use of indicators and graphics can ensure a regular income.

Is there a way two RSI indicators (with 2 different periods) in an overlapped mode i.e one on top of the other
Hello, Eric!
If you set two or more RSI indicators at the same time they are going to be set one above the other. There is no such option as the overlapping RSI in such case.
But thank you for the interesting question! I will forward your point to our developers to see what we can do for such cases.
In case you have further questions, please, let us know!

Hi!
How are you doing?
Do you have any questions about our platform?
Lost more than 800dollars i have lost and work with good stratgey anylising indicators but no profit i have seen give me any sugestion
Hello, Surya!
I am very sorry to hear about your losses!
The market is the living organism which changes quickly according to different situations. Your strategy might work under the certain conditions but as soon as the situation changes, you are not able to use the same approach to have good results.
In order to adapt to the changing conditions, it might be reasonable to follow the news and try to predict the price deviation direction for each particular time period.
For such purposes, many traders use the economic calendar. The economic calendar is a chronology of all major events in the financial world – news that helps us to understand how the market is moving at any given moment. Speeches from heads of state of Great Britain and Japan, reports on unemployment in the USA and Europe, inflation indices, GDP and oil resource forecasts–all of it influences the attitudes of market participants. That is why a sound economic calendar is a primary need for every trader.
