GERI, first you need to determine which indicators you will use...That is a trader preference... Oscillators I use: 1.Ultimate 2.Chaikin 3.Stochastic simple 4.Stochastic fast 5.Commodity Channel Index 6. Relative Strength.... 7. Volume Oscillator..simple 8. Williams %R Oscillators are very reliable in mature trends, and when stocks are in a sideways motions...They are lousy on breakouts because they get overheated too fast... Next you will need to figure out reversal points... You can do this by locating support and resistance points by using a combination of 1. 21 day moving average 2. 50 day moving average 3. Bollinger Bands 4. Envelope Channels 5. Gann-Retracement 6. Fibonacci Arcs and Fans 7. Quadrant Lines 8. Speed Resistance 9. Heavy Volume areas from the past 10. Pattern recognition I use all of these to tell me a story of where the pros will buy or sell again....My problem is that I don't always follow my disciplines of selling or covering when I should... Then you will need to determine the strength of the trend if you have one.... 1. MACD Histogram 2. MACD 3. Pring KST(also used as momentum indicator) 4. Moving averages 5. TRIX 6. +D1 and -D1 and ADX readings(this is my favorite indicator) I use a lot more than just these, but these are the ones I use the most at present..If you want specific parameters, let me know for which indicator....
