Hi DesertRose,

 

Welcome to the Trading World using Technical Indicators. As you said there are many.. Its all about how you use it. All the Indicators has worth. It's all about research using that indicator and finding its value.

 

But for sure, the Indicators will give you an idea where you can start building your own..

 

Good Luck in Trading

i saved this chart template as a reminder of seizure inducing indicator information overload...

 

i've found out that in most cases an indicator within the same family (oscillators, momentum, etc.) often tell the same story... it's just a matter of interpretting what it's telling you...

 

also, most indicators are all some variation of price, volume, and time... all are lagging so in a way it's yesterdays' news.

 

at the end of the day what really matters is being able to read the market and figure out where all the other traders are going or likely to go.

 

For many years now I've been using basic commonly used moving averages, volume with a moving average overlay and then monitor broader market information such as indexes, advance / decline, $TICK / $TRIN, Stochastics Momentum, and plotted pivot points.

 

Learn candlestick patterns, chart patterns, fibonacci, and multiple timeframe confluence, and good old fashioned trendline analysis...

 

all of this takes a considerable amount of screen time for it to become 2nd nature.

 

don't get wrapped around the axle trying to find the perfect indicator cuz it ain't out there.

 

enjoy the journey...

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

      I'm currently using Ninjatrader for my trading. But I have a problem with the Tick Chart and when I use any Indicator. When e.g. the market is very fast or my internet is slow (for a moment), then the value of the candles and indicator is wrong. 
      So I refresh the chart after every finished candle. 
      Does anybody know a software without this problem?

    • 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!
