WHY?......oh why......
I have been trading for a few years now, and I have tested 100's of indicators, made multiple systems etc etc, you get the point. Now I only trade naked charts most of the time. Occasionally I may go back and look at a moving average, or Stochastic, or maybe RSI for confluence, but honestly they are really unnecessary....And I always trade better without any indicators at all.
I understand if you want to use 1 or 2 indicators, but every time I see someone post their convoluted chart on here with 20 different indicators, I cringe. There is no way that helps more than hurts you.
Honestly why why why WHY don't traders learn the basics before looking at indicators at all? Indicators are TOOLS. If you don't know how to build a shelf a hammer isn't going to help you man. There is no holy grail, there is no combination of magical indicators that can make a system that will make more than you can trading on your own without them.
I welcome anyone to try and prove me wrong though, post your indicators/system in here and I will show you how your same "winning" signal could have been generated using a naked chart with less of a head ache and more clarity.
