I have been trading for a while now and have hit/miss success with it so I'm interested in which indicators you use the most? For me, right now I use EMA 50, Alligator and MACD/RSI(depends), and I try to make my decisions based on them and on my experience.
I trade using three indicators RSI, EMA, MA. But as far as I know the index is never responsible for losing trades. Most traders lose their money by using wrong strategy and trading at wrong time. OP the time you traded was not the right time to trade. You have traded using wrong strategy due to which you have lost trades. Trading indicators are never responsible for this.
