Indicators show the past. Price Action "Indicates" the future.

oh yeah, another one i use frequently is ATR (and friends). standard deviation also comes in handy in the same way that ATR does.

No CCI on the list.
Must be the No 1 indicator
for divergence and trend lines

All the clever clogs will be lining up to say price, as they do on all the threads about indicators…..Yawn

I use 2 EMA and little bit of price action to validate the EMA signal ...
I didn't know that EMA can be that good until one day I met a seasoned trader who trade everything with those EMAs. It tells you the start of a trend and when market is moving sideways so you can avoid trading, the only problem is it's a little slow on exit but trailing stop can handle that.

I'm currently cloning myself to be like him LOL. Wish me luck.

Bro, sorry for not include CCI in the indicator poll. How about MACD? do you like it?

HI!
I use simple obvious trend patterns, supportted by 34EMA,55EMA and 200SMA. Then I check and upgrade everything with Fibonacci and Pivots.

Okay, time for me to confest.

I’m using MACD and MA13 simple moving average for my core method.
