Much better if you could mix other indicators to prove your decision together with orderbooks
It could help you out where the market is truly heading and may avoid contradicting whales
I am using orderbooks as confirmations together with other 3 indicators
Using order books alone will not even help. I have tried it before, I have seen fake orders several times and the best way to just go about trying to trade a market, is to make use of the indicators and then the price actions on the chart to make a decision, while making stop loss a very important thing to never discard.
Personally, I make use of momentum indicator such as Stock RSI, trend indicator such as Ichimoku cloud and then add this up with price actions on certain supports and that has always worked out fine for me. However, it all balls down on each individual's level of knowledge and experience when it comes to trading both bull or bear market as the case may be.
