Indicators

An impossible question to answer without knowing what you are trying to accomplish.

HOGWASH! As a trader you want to know "when to buy" and "when to sell". What else is there? What you're always "trying to accomplish" is to make a profit.
 
all indicators are garbage & the folks on here that say price. lol. But as the gentleman said before price is all that matters.
Guys saying that this and that doesn't work is because they haven't been able to use them successfully.
Indicators and TA don't work.
Neural network and MLP don't work.
Price action doesn't work.
Fibonacci doesn't work.

They are only tools. An hammer doesn't work if you don't know how to use it. But some people can build houses using them.

To trade successfully, we need tools, strategies, risk management, plans, etc.

Based on what you just wrote, you weren't able to use indicators. Some people do, some others don't.

Btw, I'm not using them, and it's not because they are all garbage.

Are you trying to follow the trend (up/down); trade sideways action (noise), trade reversions to the mean (statistical); trade gaps?
First guy I (Day)traded with used nothing but MACD, but only in a universe of the momo stocks of the day. One day I asked him why MACD and he proceeded to put about a half dozen other indicators. Know what? They all looked the same because they all measured the same thing, basically. He was just comfortable with MACD, but he could have traded with any of the others.

I don't use any indicators. I can tell from price action what the stocks is doing, and that's all an indicator does, only on delayed basis.
I want to follow the trend of the price of the instrument.
 
So if anyone has a difference of opinion, then rather than have your opinion challenged definitely putting everyone on ignore is defo the way to go!!! People these days!!


* Unless there a total sub 90IQer/Trump ofcourse then fair enough!

I've had you on the "back burner" of one I perhaps should put on ignore. This post did it.
