is there anything that is simple and works fine

No.

You've been given about a half dozen decent ideas in this thread alone and apparently you still aren't satisfied. If you're sitting around waiting for somebody to drop a Holy Grail in your lap, my advice is 'don't hold your breath'.

OK, he has waited long enough and has proven his worth.

Give him the Holy Grail.

Now he can easily trade his way to fame and fortune with no hard work at all.

The half a dozen good ideas he refers to are pretty simple. What exactly are you looking for? Sometimes a thing is reduced down over the years to its simplest form. You can use it, or spend years looking for something simpler.

Quote from tradersaavy:

Try using them as:

Trend indicator: up, down, sideways

Support/Resistance: if your trading instrument has shown that it uses xx moving average as support/resistance in the near past, then it may again in the near future.

I'd add to that list from my own system:

Up (trending)
Up (chop)
Sideways (no volatility)
Sideways (chop)
Down (trending)
Down (chop)

Each mode of market behavior requires different trading strategies. The trick is to detect which mode you're in and when the mode has shifted.

If you focus on the market mode, it doesn't matter if you're using SMA's, EMA's, adaptive MA's, DSP-based MA's, Jurik's secret sauce, whatever... MA's work in certain modes and don't work in other modes. Same for RSI, CCI, Stochastics, or the secret sauce RSX. Doesn't matter... if you can identify which mode you can make money using any oscillator.

That's my 2 cents and how I make my $$.
