What is Best Forex Indicator?
I’ve been trading FOREX in a while, I used various inidcators such as MAs, Stochastic, MACD, RSI, and countless others.
However, none of them really works well for me in most cases.
MAs cross-over is hard to predict. Always fit better after the facts. For example, like MA (9) crosses MA (14) or MA (14) crosses MA (32) , I even tested many other flavors of MAs claimed offer faster and smoothier movements. Of course, if MA (9) didn’t cross MA (14) and failed to your expectation of the movement, MA (3) crossed over MA (9)…
Can you tell me other Forex trading indicators? What is best forex indicator?

There are three real-time moving indicators: Price, Volume, and of course Time.
Most traders focused on PRICE indicator and hundreds of other indicators derived from it, they miss two other important indicators – VOLUME and TIME. What moves the price? VOLUME and the forces driving the volume. How to see price movement? Over TIME. You need to observe Price, Volume, Time and their dynamic interactions.
The best Forex indicator (or for any other financial market) is Market Profile. More information on market profile trading can be found at:

Or Google search "simple best technical indicator".
Cheers!
If you are only using one indicator at once, that might be your problem. No one indicator is perfect, you have to use them together.
Personally I combine Stochastic, MACD and RSI (and 2 SMAs for visualization purposes), and verify based on 3 timeframes… check out my Forex blog for more info, there is a link to a detailed description of my system on the sidebar as well:

Forex trading indicators are mostly derived from MAs or prices. Despite fancy names such as stochastic, CCI, MACD, Aroon, ADX, Bollinger Band, Inverse RSI, Balance Volume, Prabolic stop etc.
Depends on how many times you make a trade, you should adjust your trading style according to big waves (oversold or overbought). In fact, don’t use too many timeframes, it can only add more frustration because multiple timeframes usually give you conflict signals. If you use the yearly, monthly, or weekly timeframe, you won’t want to buy U.S. dollar at all.
You can use 100 indicators and you will still be confused whether you should be buying or selling.
IMO, the only LEADING indicator is price. All the rest are lagging indicators. I use trendlines, support and resistance levels to determine entry and exit points.
Anyone can tell you that this indicator or that works best for this or that time frame. The reason it works for them is that they have gained the experience and competence to read the market. You probably have not gained that experience yet.
Two traders who use the same trading method–one will consistently make money while the other one will have to find a different job eventually. Look at Richard Dennis’ Turtles. He taught them everything he knew and yet not all of them were successful.
One more thing, there is no perfect trading method. If you do not want to get whipsaws–don’t trade.
Remember, the goal of a good trader is not to make money, but to trade well (Van Tharp, Trade your way to financial freedom–read his book! ).
Happy trading!
