And im trying to find a volatility line graph and other charts but some are backwards from others and some dont make sense, I trade small amount a few hundred so it like paper trading but , when paper trading you have no emotions so you take big risks and dont care about losses. But when I lose 10$ I get upset and try to fix it.

Honestly, you enter early on a live trading I know it's no emotions when you trade with paper money, but it is a first step you should do to confirm your strategy is profitable on the long term. Journal your trades and analyze your mistakes. If you do all of these on a live trade, I am sure you would lose a huge amount before you learn, even if you are risking a pretty small amount.

I'm no expert. I have experience doing paper trading; I only trade on high-probability entries on live trading, but I consistently trade on paper to learn from the entry that I think is a win trade, but if the result is bad, then I avoid doing it on live trading.

Lots of things are changing in my trading style, and I optimize the strategy and avoid aggressive trades, just like what you do without signals, confirmations, and validation before you enter.

About the indicator, it seems you are using the indicator in a wrong way; you better learn first about the indicator you are currently using.

I only have two indicators: EMA 20/50/100/200 and RSI.
MacD is good to check for weak selling or buying pressure, RSI I only use this for divergence or reversal signals, and EMA I use to determine trends, short- or long-term.

For day trading, I use RSI and EMA. Since I know the trend using EMA, I use RSI for divergence or reversal, and I do entry on pullbacks or retracements if confirmed by EMA 20/50 breakouts on low time frames of 15 minutes and below. It takes a couple of hours to hold for a 1:3 risk ratio, but I do it consistently with no emotion envolve.
