    Did you know the DJI spread has been 9.6 today … maybe that is what is killing you??

    Could be similarly high on other instruments?

    If there were indicators with good entry points, every trader would use them.

    You can find your own best with experience and tests.

    Keep in mind that any indicator, no matter how good it can be,  has pros and cons.

    Even price action has its cons, it’s lagging. You only know for sure what happenED after closure!

    I saw that this morning, it sure wasn’t helping. DAX was high, OMX which I sometimes trade was high too. Yesterday I could  screw up a little and still be OK but today was no room for errors.

    I dont know if finding a good indicator is the “greatest challenge”. At least for me its to use it. Let me know if you have a favourite I can play around with.

    There is one called ‘The Holy Grail’ which some people seem to think is the one we should all be using but I haven’t managed to find out how it works yet.

    Yeah, that one! seem to work great. I trade some news, some setup that looks good and so on. I dont think anyone can predict the future but sometimes anyone is on par with the market and sometimes an indicator help to “read into price”. Just asking in the indicator  forum if anyone has any favourites, obviously different ones will do it for different people. Not looking for any the grail or holy book of budha or santa claus (might be in Finland).
