i think you misunderstood the question, what you described is not an indicator, but the holy grail <3

For me this works on all time frames.
Give broader spectrum of price movement and quick response.

MA (Zero Lag Exponential 10)
MA (Zero Lag Exponential 20) – (Horizontal shift -2)
MA (Zero Lag Exponential 50)
MA (Zero Lag Exponential 100)
MA (Zero Lag Exponential 200)

My favorite TF used to be 1h but now my systems tend to be lower and lower but not lower that 2m yet.

I think the reason it´s because they can get a better entry and also tend to have more operations and that´s a big plus for me.

The downside of lower TF is you have a reduced bactktest period, and that can mean very few market behaviours tested.

Related to this, I have thought often about create/test a system with TF1h and later try to “translate” to a lower TF for Real Trade. Never try though.

About indicators I use the usual indicators (average, RSI, MACD…) but someone that recently use more and more is Bollinger Width Bands
