Could indicator flexibility and ease with which it can be curve-fitted determine its popularity? can popular indicators be ordered by their flexibility/curve-fittedness?
the tracks my Turkish coffee grounds make when I turn my cup over. That and http://www.trade-ideas.com/StockInfo/20_day_sma_crosses_50_day_sma.html come in handy.
Jelly Beans are wonderful for signals. Pull out these and do this. 1. RED, sell short 2. Green, buy long 3. Yellow, exit all open positions 4. Orange, Double up position 5. Black, Visit the mother in law, be nice as pie, soon your account might blow up and you will need a place to stay. Happy Trading, remember this: The more indicators one uses, the more excuses you will find not to pull the trigger.
My favorite indicator is my beautiful wife, Rita. If I wake up and she is sleeping on her left side, I short the open. If she is sleeping on her right side, I'm long the open. If she is lying on her back, I miss the open.
Agreed. Not sure I'd really call it an "indicator" though. Its not derived from anything, nor does it tell you when to buy/sell. That said, its the only thing I use other than price itself. its also why i prefer FX futures over FX cash (no vol data in the latter can be a big handicap). Jay
My favorite indicator is the Magic 8 Ball, but I am seriously thinking of trying out Hoodoomans indicator. Now if I can just find a way to get into his bed without him noticing.
