Trading Indicators come in all sizes and shapes and have been under development for years. Over the past 15 years I have found and applied numerous indicators. Contained in the table below are screen shots of the indicators I have used successfully to improve the reliability of my trading. Some of these indicators I used ten + years ago while others are ones I use today. These indicators all possess a pedigree, which may be identified in InvestoPedia or WikiPedia.
Many screen shots portray hourly Crude Oil, January 2014 Contract,
simply because it was currently traded contract at the time we took the shots after Thanksgiving.
Some shots are taken from the Tradestation platform while most were from our current platform, NinjaTrader.

Above indicators are simply a list off the top of my head representing those indicators which I am dancing with today, at this writing. Indicator development and learning is fluid and may change from day to day as learning unfolds. My message here is for you to find a few, about half as many as displayed above and learn their use, apply their use and then decide for yourself whether they are helpful. Every trader is UNIQUE. No one can supplant into your thinking his/her identical thinking. And, who is to say this persons thinking is any better than yours. Just grow a little each day as you perfect your own style. Then, when your style produces results on your simulator, try your methods on Market Replay Application of NinjaTrader.
