I use a combination of stochastics on multiple timeframes. I trade using the 10min, 3min, and 1min timeframe. Whenever 3 stochastics point in the same direction, I will place a trade.

Price is my indicator I stopped using technical indicators years ago. Now the only tools I use are market internal tools such as the TICK, TRIN, prem, and PC ratio. I also use market profile and pivot points. Read this thread to learn more about my trading techniques.

Do you use PC ratio real time or at fixed intervals?

I use the PC ratio in real-time. I use it as a warning tool to judge the number of longs vs shorts. If the pc ratio is high, it means that everybody is short. If everyone is short there is no one else left to sell.

Therefore, I can use this signal to find long setups.

If the PC ratio is low, it means that everybody is long. There is no one left to buy so I will look for a short signal. It use it as a contrary opinion tool.

The key levels on the pc ratio I look for is 0.6 and 1.0.

Note: Stay away from it during options expiration week. This indicator becomes unreliable.

The only indicators I use are a wma and a parabolic sar for forex. I mainly view price,and use the wma for confirmation and sar for hard stop placement (although I don't follow the sar exactly, too obvious for price spikes to take you out). I don't get much fancier than that.

moving averages and pivot points on multiple timeframes
I've found having multiple timeframes up at once to be the biggest help to my trading.

My favorite would have to be the NYSE & NASDAQ TICK, and pivots.

TICK hooks right at pivot points make me smile:p
