Hi tkpower8,
I beg to differ.
Sounds like we are almost on the same page really Tim,
I have used Indicators long ago and used them well because I used them to back up what I was seeing with price action, after I started teaching people I soon realized that most people will look at the RSI or STOCH or whatever first, then they would barely look at what price was doing. Indicators are not worth the screen space if they are your main focus, like you say, you need to know how to use them.
Long story short I soon realized that these Indicators were not even necessary so they were removed from my chart and not missed at all. They were clearly just a visual crutch to back up what I was seeing in price. I have to insist, at least for me, there is nothing that can't be seen in price itself, and by that I mean Support/Resistance, Swing Highs and Lows, Trend Lines, Candlesticks, checking for Psych levels that may be in the way and so on. After that good money management and risk reward is needed and there is no need for anything else. You will not win them all but losing some is part of the overall winning and that needs to understood by anyone who attempts to trade the markets.
A candlestick to me is not an Indicator btw but a part of what I consider price action.
So I guess there is plenty of perception at play also.
Thanks for the post, all opinions are respected in my world
