Which indicator is the best one to use?

Recommended Posts

My car came with indicators, I didn't choose them.

 

I don't always use my indicators. I will often make a turn without them...then there's sometimes I indicate and don't even turn...I don't pay much attention to other drivers' use of indicators for these reasons, prefer to watch their actions and judge their intentions that way.

Indicators simply use this data and display it differently by setting certain variables in relation to others or previous data. Today more than 150 indicators are available. Even indicators of indicators are also available. However, what ever may be the number of indicator you must remember that these indicators are mainly based on five variables. They are The Open, High, Low, Close and Volume of certain period.

 

Moving averages displaying the relationship between a series of closing prices over a period of time and Williams %R displaying High and Low to the close, are the examples of the indicators. It says that most indicators are just “skewing” the data contained in the bar or candlestick chart which display the “purest” form of data: The Open, High, Low and their close relationship to each other. I personally use a simply bar chart with volume information.

Regarding indicators. I trade ER2, ES, and EUR. I have used practically every indicator invented..CCI, T-3, lsma..you name it. This is only my opinion..but in my ten years of experience trading these eminis..I have settled on 2 min charts for ES and EUR..and 3 min for ER (it is more volatile). My one indicator..yes..the commonplace MACD 12,26,9..and 5,3,5 (to get out of trades and show quick divergences). When the emini candles are at a peak or at the depths..I wait for the Fast Line regular 12,26,9 hook. As the hook verifies itself by remaining hooked on a price backup..I am in. Most times this is a scalp play..but if the 353 cuts through the zero line followed by the 12,26,9 fast line..the trend has changed and you stay in. I have found these trades to be above 90 percent for at least 3 pts on many contracts. All in all the safest way to play the eminis..expecially ER2 is to take 2 pts on a lot of contracts..unless you get the zl crosses I spoke of.

Best indicator is your mind. This is the true holy grail and until this is developed into a trading machine all indicators will have you on a goose chase.

 

It's easy to find indicator crosses and even easy to develop a "system".

The hard part is in getting your mind to follow every signal and trust the system when your stop is a few ticks from being hit.

 

I know this as fact...still working on getting there myself though. ;)

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
