well indicators do have success if you use them properly.
i look at slow stockastics, rsi and macd now and then, and hide it away, they have helped alot in identifying breakouts and break downs you just need to mix it up s/r, trendlines and moving averages and candlestick patterns.
stoch, rsi indicators are oscillators. you dont need to look at all of them, just pick one, alexander elder's triple screen trading method is an example for this,
have 3 charts, e.g monthly, weekly, daily, (market tide, market wave, market ripple)
on the monthly, you need a trend following indicator, a simple moving average will do, (trade in the direction fo the tide)
on the weekly, another trend following indicator, another moving average or even an MACD, (is the wave moving with or against the tide)
on the daily, an oscillating indicator, such as your stoch, RSI or a CCI, (the market ripples oscillating backwards and forwards)
when the market tide is up and the market wave is up, you look to enter early on the ripples(when indicator shows under-sold) to pressume the trend will re-establish itself.
this is just one example of a simple system using indicators, but through time and experience you will realise that you cannot see the forest through the trees using them.
in my opinion, and I started using them at first also because I didnt know any better, they are all ****.
you are a trader not a punter sitting at some fancy casino, with squiggly fancy lines all over it, learn to think like a trader. why do I want to buy, who will I sell to, is this instrument in demand,
its all about supply and demand along with price and volume of activity, nothing else at all. indicators do not tell you any of that.......they just tell you, price is turning up here after it has turned up.
the sooner you get off of matters relating to indicators the sooner you will start to learn what you should be doing to further develope your trading abilities and to think correctly.
thats my advice...
what do you think, traders in the pits are screaming at each other, the rsi is turning up, I should buy, the MACD is crossing, buy, buy, buy.........
they are all bullsh*t
