what indicators do you use?

I'm sure you are correct in your views. I really didn't know as much as you do about the OP or others.

Of course, there are many more than 7 trades in the market for that period of time. The rough limit would be 6 to 7 times the range shown and the value is a market determined value not a trader skill level determined value. Mostly people doing this would not be experts but would fit into some other professional category, instead.
I do not know what the pro categories are.
Quote from rickf:

What you say may work for you, and if so, I applaud you for sharing your method....but to say with certainty that an expert will see such-and-such is, in my view, an incorrect conclusion.

With respect, you may see seven clear trades on a chart, someone else may see 3, someone else might see 5, and someone else might see 1 or none at all. I look at your chart and think "too much information" and it's not a chart I would use. But that's just me, and I probably 'read' the markets differently than you, and vice-versa. That's how it should be!

Each of us needs to be an "expert" in our own system/style/method/timeframe of trading -- what works comfortably for you may not work for me or someone else.

The only things that make an 'expert' trader in my view are their ability to read the markets, execute controlled trades, and appropriately control risks once in a position. How they do that, and what tools/techniques they use, is entirely up to them -- they're neither right or wrong, just different.

Price, Volume, and Market Internals. Oh and some S/R confluence areas.
Price and Volume are the main indicators i follow right now. I have not put S&R yet.
 
For intraday trading I use price only; on daily charts I find the 50-day SMA to be of some small value. It seems to be a price magnet.

To quote Vinnie in Goodfellas after they whacked Tommie, "And dat's dat."
 
Quote from jnbadger:

I was going to imply something like this, but:

10,000 hours in front of the screen, price/volume analysis, and some automation may get you there.

It's that simple.

:cool:

Good point but it rare to find a trader even willing to put in 1000 hours (6 months of real-time data) with an individual concept before they are itching to trade and thinking they are a "Trading God".

2) You also become a "slave" to the duration of the indicator. :cool: [/B]
====================
Like what Don Bright {Trading Co} says about them ;
''dont put to much faith in them'':D

No idea if it helps his daytrading??;
but much price data[hand recorded] helps in some markets.

Volume-depends on the market;
one[1] real estate sale may or may not mean much................................
