I just noticed that many of my friends are interested in learning about trading, so I’d like to share 5 indicators that I use regularly and find quite effective for telling you good buy and sell points.

But first, I have to say that trading isn’t only about looking at indicators. You need a solid trading plan, understand the risks, and know how to set TP/SL properly. Then, gradually accumulate experience over time.

Start with Moving Average (MA), because it’s the simplest indicator, and almost every trader uses it. It clearly shows the price trend. If the price is above the MA, it means an uptrend is underway; if it’s below, it indicates a downtrend. Most of the time, I prefer using EMA (Exponential Moving Average) over SMA because it provides more accurate signals.

Next is RSI (Relative Strength Index), which helps you see whether the price is overbought or oversold. If RSI is below 30, it suggests there’s been excessive selling—this could be a good trading point. If it’s above 70, it’s the opposite: it’s a sell signal. But be careful—during strong trends, RSI may stay at extreme levels for a long time before reversing.

Then there’s MACD, which I think is the most well-rounded indicator. It can show both the trend and the strength of the price. Watch for the MACD crossing relative to the Signal line: if MACD crosses upward above the Signal line, it’s a bullish signal and a clear buy point. If it crosses downward and stays below, it’s bearish.

Volume is also very important. If the price is rising but volume is decreasing, it suggests the rise is losing momentum. If the price is rising with high volume, that’s a strong signal. It’s also very useful for confirming breakouts of support/resistance.

Finally, Visible Range or Volume Profile—this is a relatively new indicator. It helps you see where most investors have their cost basis, which makes it easier to find strong support and resistance levels than just drawing ordinary lines. However, the chart may look complicated for beginners.

What I want to say is that each indicator has its pros and cons. There is no perfect indicator. You should use them together with other indicators to improve how accurately you can identify buy and sell points. And most importantly, you must backtest before using anything in real trading. Everyone has a different trading style. An indicator that works for one person may not work for another.

My recommendation is to start by learning MA and RSI first, then gradually increase the complexity. Don’t trade with real money right away. Practice trading with virtual funds or on a demo account first. I hope everyone finds an approach that fits them and trades with a clear mind. 💪
