What's the best indicator?

Yeah price is good. Specifically pace.

What's with charmmy kitty anyways? I thought it was some korean ripoff but my wife says it's legit.

Price itself is and price alone.
S/R are the basic building block of natural price patterns that are always there on the charts, to be exploited by anyone who knows how.
Trade from the naked chart without those lagging indicators covering all over price action. :D
 
The question is so flawed, that an answer is of course impossible.

It reminds me of questions that are asked in philosophy, which are equally flawed. Do we have a soul? What is life?

It is the merit of Wittgenstein, that today we know, we should ask better questions.

Infact there are more some striking paralells between the philosophy of language and trading. Language is always used in a certain context. The same is true for an indicator. An overbought CCI can mean something completely different in a trending phase than in a nontrending phase and so on.

What is your timeframe? What do you want to measure? If you don't know the answers to these questions you should do your homework, otherwise Indicators will never tell you anything.

Quote from woodie:

The best indicator is the one that talks to you...this would be

different for many traders. The key to trading is to find what

works for you and learn all the things about it. Problem is most

new traders jump between so many things that there is no way

they can survive. Keep it simple. I like the CCI of couse.

GOOD TRADING

what he said, the key thing is you gotta own it, its behave is reliable and predictable, it is like a robot, always give the same signal for the same set up day after day.
 
The Best indicator out of all of them comes form the Merc. essentially throughout the day there will be sirens and bells going off. To use the indicators properly, follow these rules precisely:

1. Buy on Bell

2. Sell on Siren

Bollinger bands are useless imo: u can see possible entry/exit but only at times and on insight (after the fact).

I use 20EMA, 50EMA and 100EMA: good for any time frame.

MACDs also is pretty reliable.
