I'd love to get the communities input on what trading indicators works best for them. Both common and custom indicators are welcome. If it is a custom indicator, please provide a link. I'll keep updating this main post with all your responses, so lets make this a big list!

In investing there are two schools of thought related to predicting future price swings:

(1) Fundamentals - revenue, debt, size of a company, price-to-earning ratio, financials, etc.

(2) Technical analysis - the timing, size, and frequency of price movements (nothing more, nothing less)

Bitcoin doesn't have fundamentals, per se. But they have a lot of technical components. The only way to analyze and predict future bitcoin moves is through analysis of price movements and evaluate when there have been break throughs and break downs up or through previous price resistance levels. It doesn't help with super long term trends, but would help one forecast shorter term trends (over a few months or a half year).

The indicators I use in trading are: trend, ichimoku cloud and bollinger bands. Also I use RSI, stochRSI and MACD but i don't follow them or make decisions based on them. If i want to order them from most relevant to least relevant I do this,the most relevant: Trend, I don't short in an uptrend or long in a downtrend. Bollinger band to find the big moves and volatility. Ichimoku to place stoplosses or to see eventual trend-changes. least relevant: RSI/stochRSI to see if market seems oversold or overbought. MACD, also trend changes. However, Find your own strategy that's fits your way of trading the best. My way is most likely not the best for others.

Bollinger Bands, RSI and Average True Range is the only 3 indicators that I used. Combine it with some patterns like Double Top, Double Bottom and Head & Shoulders will make your trading more close to accuracy.

In my tutorial in Udemy. Having too much indicator will just make your trading worst since you will have too many variables to be considered which is very prone to error. Just use indicators and patterns that everybody use because if no one but you will see the indicators & patterns on the current chart then most probably it will not gonna succeed.

Remember that in trading, you win because someone is losing. So better to use info that everyone see and follow the trend. :)
