Forex Vs. Stocks:

Relative strength Index

Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular momentum oscillator developed by J. Welles Wilder.
The RSI indicator ranges in value from 0 to 100, with numbers above 70 indicating overbought conditions and fewer than 30 indicating oversold (Go long when RSI falls below the 30 level and rises back above it) or on a bullish divergence where the first trough is below 30.
If the RSI rises above 30, it is considered bullish, while if the RSI falls below 70, it is considered bearish (Go short when RSI rises above the 70 level and falls back below it
or on a bearish divergence where the first peak is above 70).

Futures is Exchange traded contracts are not issued like securities, but they are "created" when one party buys (goes long) a contract from another party (who goes short). In the beginning there are no contracts, so the number of long contracts must equal the number of short contracts. This always goes through the exchange, which means that the exchange is the counter party for all trades. However, the exchange does not take any net positions. In this way clients do not know with whom they have ultimately traded. Compare this with securities, in which an issuer issues the security. After that, it is a legal entity that is traded independently of the issuer. Even if the issuer buys back some securities, they still exist. Only if they are legally canceled can they disappear.

Relative Vigor Index

It was generated by John F. Ehlers. Relative Vigor Index (RVI) calculation is based on the idea that in a rising market the closing price is usually higher than the opening price, and on the bearish market the closing is usually below the opening price.
The basic signals of Relative Vigor Index (RVI) are:
1-    Bullish divergence / bearish convergence - the main signal pointing to the weakness of the current trend.
2-    A good moment to open a sell / buy position is the crossing of the RVI line by the signal line from above/below once the bullish divergence / bearish convergence has appeared on the chart.
3-    In a flat market an exit from the overbought / oversold area is a signal to sell / buy.

Forex Vs. Options

Options are financial instruments that convey the right, but not the obligation, to engage in a future transaction on some underlying security. For example, buying a call option provides the right to buy a specified quantity of a security at a set strike price at some time on or before expiration, while buying a put option provides the right to sell. Upon the option holder's choice to exercise the option, the party who sold, or wrote, the option must fulfill the terms of the contract.

Types of options:

Exchange traded options (also called "listed options") is a class of exchange traded derivatives. Exchange traded options have standardized contracts, and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Since the contracts are standardized, accurate pricing models are often available. Exchange traded options include:

1. Stock Options.
2. Commodity Options.
3. Bond options and other interest rate options.
4. Index (equity) Options.
5. Options on futures contracts.

Over-the-counter, or OTC options are traded between two private parties, and are not listed on an exchange. The terms of an OTC option are unrestricted and may be individually tailored to meet any business need. In general, at least one of the counterparties to an OTC option is a well-capitalized institution. Option types commonly traded over the counter include:

1) Interest rate options.
2) Currency cross rate options.
3) Options on swaps or swaptions.

Employee stock options are issued by a company to its employees as compensation.
