Hello,
I am currently using Ninja Trader and am looking into some of different indicators for futures and forex. What's the best indicator you've used, if the price was not an issue
Regards,
Brian

@cory that was an A+ test question
Price will always be an issue since an indicator is a derivative of price.

I was referring to a commercial indicator, If you didn't realize that. I understand price is an important part of trading. I've rephrased the question..
Thanks

There are something like 10,000 indicators on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT).

Anyone that has been around long enough will tell you, none of them will make you profitable. Chasing after indicators is a waste of time. Indicators are tools, nothing more.

You can eat your lunch without a fork. But the fork makes it a bit easier. Trading is the same. You have to be profitable on your own. Indicators will maybe make it easier, but most people make the mistake of chasing indicators and never learn to trade.

It's all covered a hundred times over in this thread:
