Indicators should be used as an indication of the price movement, not for signals. Because indicators always give you a false signal especially in a lower timeframe if you rely on it. Overbought and oversold levels of the indicator do not mean what it was, maybe the price has made a breakout or the price may stay in that level for a long time.

Well, everything has its own importance. I must say, we should make a strategy by using both indicators and charts. Solely analyzing charts without indicators may fail your plan and you will end up with a big loss. Try to learn how to use indicators in charts and then go ahead with your trade.
True, what are your favorite indicators?

Using multiple indicators is always useful, using a single indicator is not much effective to predict where prices will move in the future.

Pairing an indicator with a profitable strategy can turn out to be very good for traders. I also try some indicators with price action for getting better results.

You need to use the indicators that suit you in combination with other tools. And it's also important to have an understanding of what you are doing. You must be able to correctly understand the information that you have. It so happens that the indicator clearly screams about the entry point, the trader cannot correctly recognize this signal, and the moment of entering the market is lost.

Indicators are useful but sometimes they are not that accurate so it is bad for me, sometimes i have to look into various indicators to choose the good one

The indicator is indeed very profitable but it is very slow. So many times the indicator provides the signal after a move is lost.

If you pair an indicator with a profitable strategy, it kind of adds to the overall profitability of it.
Indeed, this is what make indicators much useful for traders

you can use indicators, Fibo and anything as you want. But try first to have a look at the chart history and check how effective they are. I think 1D charts can be only tradable if you use for example MACD.

Indicators are a way to look at chart data using mathematical functions, averaging, etc. Indicators do not predict the future, they only help to correctly assess the current market situation.

To use indicator you need to have good idea about those indicators. With just default setting, they do not work all the time..

we can say that indicator makes us 55-60% win rate though we can lose 100% after 200% win.
so the power of system is the money management

It is very important to realise that indicators are sometimes wrong and the main thing which a trader should pay his attention to is the charts as they show the accurate situation of the market and indicators only help the traders to make the right decision.

Indicators will be wrong if you do not pay attention to analysis being used, I am talking about fundamental and technical analysis.

The Moving-Average Convergence/Divergence line or MACD is probably the most widely used technical indicator. Along with trends, it also signals the momentum of a stock. The MACD line compares the short-term and long-term momentum of a stock in order to estimate its future direction.

Agreed @AliForexTalks
Apart from MACD, I feel, RSI is quite helpful in forex trading.

As for me, the indicator is quite a useful thing, but only if it is used correctly. Sometimes you can get too stupid if you use purely indicators.
Yes. you need to have proper knowledge about indicators before using it.
