For scalpers, what technical indicators do you use?

Quote from firstchoice:

What about false bids(lots, limit orders) on the bid and ask? Market makers have been known to post phony large lots of bid and asks and then pull them at the last minute so people like you will see the large lot of contracts and think it is going up and then they profit from you after you buy in. They sell to you. And you are stuck in the market while it goes down. Relying on debth of market isn't a good idea.

In poker, a lot of players bluff. That doesn't mean that totally ignoring bets is a good idea.

I keep things simple, using only an array of 'rate of change' indicators for opening positions.

No indicators, Just the DOM.

I don't even use the DOM. I have my computer read to me the bid and offer.

Your computer reads to you? What are you, blind?
