Price action, indicator combo question

I see that some people trade with indicators successfully. At least they say they do. I’m only saying they make me doubt my setups often. I do pay attention to divergence. I will admit that when I started trading for the first time I tried using indicators. But I knew little about price action and structure and was basically using the indicator to enter trades. I think a lot of newbies do that.

I accept that some really do. It’s possible.

I’ve seen some potential value in both MACD divergence, about which Elder has written so much, and long-RSI divergence, about which I’ve found nothing written.

I think so, too.

I see sense in using indicators as a convenient way of deciding overall bias, and price action to enter trades.

Hope not. It does the forum and its members a favour. They should realise that, if they care?

OK this kind of price over bb n pull back r useful to MI cos it more suitable for scalping like me. But of course beside bb I use other indicater as well. I told him about bb is closer to let him see how the price moving. If not using bb he can also draw a simple line at lease there a guide line on the chart better than naked if it really hard to observe the price moving

Personally, I don’t use indicators - they used to just make me second guess myself. Now it’s been so long without them, I know I don’t need them anyway. I do swing trading / mainly 4hr or daily charts.
