i'm not using any indicators, just using price action itself... if you have time check out some of the webinars on fxstreet.com http://www.fxstreet.com/live/transcripts/ especially by Phil Newton and Mike Baghdady strong advocates of price behaviour, i found them to be very helpful. You know in many ways i'm not in too different a situation from you... i was also made redundant around 4 months ago and have been trying to make a living from forex ever since...let me know how it goes.
