1. A-indicator gives sell signal for medium-short time cycle period however long-medium time-cycle period still maintain buy-in signal;

2. A-indicator shows buy-in signal for medium-short time cycle period but B-indicator has not shown buy-in signal for same time-cycle;

3. A-indicator gives buy-in signal, but B-indicator with difference time-cycle still give sell signal;

Meanwhile, we also recommend investor not only consistently using the same indicator but also setup a stock analysis procedure.
