What are the most used/common indicators?

Hey,
what do you think - which are the most used indicators?!

Some traders make their live hard in using ichimoku, elliott waves and some other stuff simultanously.
Others predict on price action, which includes S&R levels/ trendlines of course.

But which (standard) indicators are mostly seen and applied by big investors to the chart?!
[If we would all see the same, we would trade the same, and the market would collapse. We are far away from this surreal situation, but therefore, what is the most common chart picture]

My guess would be SMA - used to determine what the 'center of the expected price should be, and determine if there is a trend away or towards that price.

Hey, that's a pretty chart picture you've posted. What is that?

I will not consider trendline and bars/candlesticks indicators. If you are looking for the most widely used indicator, go for the stochastics. Even some traders who believe they are 'pure' price action traders use stochastics.

Hi,
I use RSI, stochastic and fibo levels. MACD and Bollinger bands are also good indicatiors.

It will be good to cooperate with the OP to focus on the purpose of the thread. Anything outside this or contrary will tantamount to spamming imho.

Bollinger Bands, various Moving Averages, Parabolic SAR, MACD, RSI, Alligator and probably quite a few others seem to be the most used indicators. That doesn't mean, of course, that one should be using all of them at the same time.

Bollinger band with std deviation of 2, RSI and few moving averages, along with that use of support and resistance through trend line is must. Strong fundamentals and economy understanding will make trading simple.

Yes, I have same opinion! I have also noticed most of the new traders start their trading with the EURUSD trading pairs and MA trading indicators! I am a news trader mainly, but till now I use EMA in my trading chart.

So far I have seen Moving Average is the most used indicator. I am saying what I have seen around me. It may not be the whole picture. I personally do not use any indicator. I use Naked charts with Volume for my trading.

May I ask you where you have your volume from (which provider)?! I know volfix.net for ex, around 800$ a year. Bloomberg Terminal is another one, 16k/year ;:
