Honestly, without good trading indicators on the chart, I get lost. Technical analysis is not just guessing; it's mathematics that helps understand where the price might go. I use several tools at once because one indicator alone isn't enough.
The main trading indicators I constantly watch: moving averages (MA and EMA), MACD to confirm the trend, RSI for overbought-oversold conditions, Bollinger Bands for volatility. Fibonacci helps find support levels, Ichimoku shows the overall picture. ADX indicates the strength of the trend. It's not a cure-all, but in combination, they provide a clearer picture.
The problem is that many traders rely only on one indicator and think it guarantees profit. No. Trading indicators are tools for analysis, not a magic wand. You also need risk management, discipline, and an understanding that losses are part of the game.
Right now, there are plenty of paid indicators on the market that promise all sorts of miracles. I'm skeptical of such things. It's better to spend time studying classic indicators and understanding how they work than to look for some magical tool. Even the most complex trading indicators are just mathematics based on historical data. Nothing more.
