There are so many indicators used for so many different elements of trading. Some good, some bad. Some used appropriately and some not. Most have some basis however and it's my belief that some measure of credence can be given to anything that a trader(human or not) uses to make decisions to trade.

 

I personally am an advocate of auction theory and principles of market profile. However, I also integrate price specific volume and delta(aggressive buy-aggressive sell) in my price analysis. I also look and fibonacci retracements and extensions with the day and from strong moves. These methods give me a price framework and context for trading during the day. There are other indicators I like to look at given particular contexts. For example, if a market is or is likely to trend within the specific timeframe I am looking at, I may also incorporate moving averages depending or their ability to demonstrate relevance. Simple but sometimes can be applied very effectively depending on other participants.

 

That's me for now.

      So I've been messing with the indicators and learning about them. Made me curious what does the majority use here and why?
      Currently I'm using Bollinger Bands, Awesome Oscillator, Moving Average, Belkhayate Timing and Parabolic SAR.
      From all these Belkhayate is my favourite so far, it almost only made me win trades. While Parabolic is almost like MA, I still can read it more clearly on how the market moves.

    • 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!
