Indicators that work.

 

I would guess that quite a few of the posters here have used various indicators in their technical analysis and incorporated the indicators in their work.

I do wonder, has anyone actually used an indicator and found it to work consistently in the long term? Obviously, I'm talking about the standard indicators, not any custom indicators that you may have developed yourselves.

All the standard Indicator work just fine, what have you found that does not ? or maybe you meant something else ?

I apologise for not being clear.


What I meant was, has anybody when using standard settings on an indicator to enter and exit trades found it to be profitable.

 
GumRai: found it to be profitable.
