If you’re trading without any indicators, you’re flying blind.
But if you’re using too many? You’re probably confusing yourself into bad decisions.
After years of trying every tool out there, I now stick to just 3 core indicators — and they’ve completely changed how I trade.
⸻
📊 1. Volume
“Price tells you what’s happening. Volume tells you if it matters.”
Volume confirms breakouts, fakeouts, and trend strength.
If a breakout happens on low volume — be skeptical.
If a dump comes on high volume — that’s real selling pressure.
🔑 Tip: Combine with support/resistance zones to confirm momentum.

📉 2. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
RSI measures momentum — it shows when an asset is overbought or oversold.
• Above 70 = Potential reversal zone (overbought)
• Below 30 = Potential bounce zone (oversold)
But don’t trade it in isolation. Use RSI to spot divergence — a secret weapon for catching trend reversals.
⸻
📈 3. Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
EMA (like the 20, 50, or 200) smooth out price action and help you stay in trend.
When:
• Price is above the 50 EMA = Bullish bias
• Price crosses below = Momentum shift
Combine multiple EMAs (e.g., 20/50 crossover) to create a reliable trend-following system.

✅ Final Advice:
You don’t need 10 indicators.
Master just these 3, and you’ll see the market more clearly than most traders.
Less noise. More edge. Better trades.
