Been switching between RSI, MACD, and moving averages but results are inconsistent.
What indicators do you actually rely on during your day trades? Looking for something that gives clearer signals in volatile markets.
Stochastic works better than RSI for me. Less false signals when markets get choppy.
Ditched most indicators 3 years back - too unreliable when markets get choppy.
Stick to pivot points and support/resistance now. Way more consistent than RSI or MACD for entry timing.
I combine them with candlestick patterns at key levels. Hammer or doji right at a pivot beats waiting for indicator crossovers every time.
Keep it simple. Too many indicators just mess with your head when you need quick decisions.
For day trading, volume plus price action beats most indicators hands down.
I stick with a 20 EMA for trend direction, but I’m really watching volume at key price levels - that’s where the real signals are.
Most indicators just lag behind and mess with your head when things get volatile.
VWAP is great for intraday trades. It reflects where smart money is entering. I use it alongside basic momentum. If price breaks above VWAP with rising volume, I take a long position. If it drops below VWAP with volume, that’s a short signal. Avoid oscillators in volatile markets since they often mislead. VWAP remains reliable because it’s based on actual trading volume.
Bollinger Bands with ATR skip the noise focus on breakouts
