Stop using every indicator for everything.

A common mistake I see in trading is trying to make every indicator do every job. RSI is used to judge momentum, but that doesn’t mean it should decide your entry on every setup. MACD can help identify changes in trend, while volume can tell you whether a breakout is actually getting participation. The same applies to the rest: 1. RSI → Momentum 2. MACD → Trend change 3. Volume → Breakout confirmation 4. VWAP → Intraday price direction 5. 200 EMA → Bigger trend 6. Bollinger Bands → Volatility 7. ADX → Trend strength 8. Open Interest → F&O positioning 9. Support & Resistance → Important reaction zones The mistake is putting all of these on one chart and waiting for every indicator to agree. That usually makes the chart more confusing, not more accurate. Instead, start with the setup you’re looking for and ask yourself: what confirmation do I actually need here? If you’re checking a breakout, volume may matter more. For an intraday trade, VWAP can be useful. If you’re trying to understand the broader trend, the 200 EMA may give you a better picture. You don’t need 10 indicators to trade well. You need to understand what each tool is actually telling you and use the right one for the right situation. Save this for later 🔖
