📈 Indicators are perspectives, not truths.

Different trading indicators are like the different "glasses" you wear when observing the market:

The moving average system looks at trend continuity.

Bollinger Bands observe volatility ranges and extreme deviations.

Volume indicators look at market participation.

OBV/MFI look at momentum and divergences.

SMC structural types look at major player behavior and strategic layouts.

✅ Therefore, the real key is not which indicator you use,
but whether you know what you are actually looking at.

It's like a telescope; if you look at something close with it, it will naturally not be clear.
But if you know it’s a telescope, you won’t mistakenly think it’s "blurry."

How to choose the right indicator system for yourself?
Look at your trading style: is it intraday? Swing? Medium to long-term?

Look at your cognitive preference: is it intuitive prediction? Or logical deduction?

See if you can break down the indicators to understand the dimensions behind them.

Because indicators are merely extractions of certain market characteristics; they are not the market itself.

🔍 The only standard for evaluating an indicator system is —
not "how accurate it is,"
but:

"Can you use it to continuously and stably understand the market, and allow yourself to act with discipline and confidence?"

🎯 The indicators you choose actually reflect the perspective from which you view the market;
the more dimensions you evaluate, the closer your judgment is to reality.

What are indicators and patterns, really?

Many people ask me how to read indicators and patterns.
In fact, indicators and patterns are just a kind of "summary translation" of market rules by humans.

But be aware —
What you are trading is not the indicators, nor the patterns,
What you are trading is the underlying behavioral logic, the motivations of the people involved, and the positions of the counterparties.

For example:

A MACD golden cross is not a miracle; it means funds are just starting to enter the market simultaneously;
A K-line breakout on increased volume is not a pass; it indicates that someone is exerting force and making a statement at a critical level.
Even HL, HH, LL... are not valuable because of the structure itself,
but rather because of who got washed out behind this structure and who is controlling the rhythm.

So if you only look at the signals without understanding the motivations behind them,
You may easily fall into the dilemma of "seeing the right chart but taking the wrong direction."
This is the root of why many people feel that indicators are "failing": it's not that the indicators are inaccurate, it's that you used them in the wrong context.

📌 True advancement is using indicators as clues, not conclusions;
Using patterns as reflections of emotions, not buttons for instructions.

Using the human brain to understand the motivations of major players,
Using tools to calibrate the rhythm, avoiding being backfired by signals,
That is where indicators should truly belong.
