Fav tech indicators

[Robertral]

What are you fav 3 tech indicators?

 

[FetteredChinos]

hmmm, if i was held at gunpoint i would go for:-

divergances in:-

RSI
MACD

and, err, Price?

 

[harryc]

MACD & Exponential Moving Averages for me . On their own are pretty good but combined with Level 2 ( Market Depth ) and price action and I'm good to go

 

[Roberto]

Hmmmm indeed ... at gunpoint, I would go for DMI/ADX (that's only one), MACD divergences and CCI.

 

[frugi]

Tick, 20EMA/5min, volume and Trin for the brucie bonus.

 

[rog1111]

None, just price

 

[Trader333]

I only have 2 and they are Price and Volume


Paul

 

[Glenn]

Price and occasionally volume.

Edit - Since 1998

[ardhill]

Price (but that's cheating really)
Moving Averages
DMI / ADX

 

[Salty Gibbon]

Price has to be the most favourite indicator because without it we would not even trade.

Second favourite for me is a 10 period EMA superimposed on the price chart.

I used to look at volume but I pay it scant attention these days and I am doing better and better without considering it. I may give it a cursory glance from time to time but that's all.

 

[harryc]

Gotta say that I could probably get used to not having my MACD and EMA's on my charts but if it had to be one ( not truly a tech indicator I guess ) I COULD NOT live without my Market depth ( Level 2 ) screen .

I 'grew' up with that when trading Spreads and CFd's in the early days and find it invaluable trading the FTSE futures now

Price?

None, just price

Hi,
How does a person identify when a particular stocks price is giving a buy signal?
Cheers

[hanhao]

anyone uses MACD divergence signals?
i think if you tweak the values and combine with other indicators it can be a winner

 

[c6ackp]

anyone starting out could do a lot worse than to learn Woodies CCI - also slow stochs is one of the more useful indicators for newbies - however, indicators are like stabilisers on a bike

in time, all indicators become irrelevant - the crucial knowledge is price patterns, filters and subtle clues offered by individual price bars within these patterns

[bluetipex]

I have 4 really.

1. Price

2. 34/100 EMA (almost magical).

3. Slow Stochastic/CCI

4. ADX

 

[tireg]

Price + Volume of course...
other than that, MACD, fullstoch and 22ema

Exponential Moving Average.
the answer is a little closer to home, what with our own Traderpedia.
( if you want equations, you may need to look elsewhere )
