I follow the combination of Moving Average and RSI and it works wonder even though newbies may find it difficult to understand.

Moving average and Bollinger bands aren't leading indicators. I'd say that any oscillator can be a good leading technical indicator if you understand what it really shows (like how it's calculated) and don't act like its signals are some indisputable prophecy.

Great suggestions! Moving averages, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands are excellent indicators for beginners to start with. Moving averages can help smooth out price action and identify trends. The RSI is great for spotting overbought or oversold conditions, which can indicate potential reversals. MACD is useful for identifying momentum and trend shifts, while Bollinger Bands give you a sense of volatility and potential price breakouts. Together, they form a solid toolkit for understanding market behavior and making more informed trading decisions. It's all about practice and getting comfortable with how they work!

Leading indicators I like to use RSI and Bollinger bands, but sometimes it needs a combination with others, such as candlestick patterns, to confirm because leading indicators may face false signals.

Good list to start with. Just don’t rely on them blindly, learn why they work, not just how they look. Price action still rules!

Good Picks. Keeping it simple at first and mastering just a couple of these will make a huge difference.

The best leading indicators for beginners include relative strength index, stochastic oscillator, and moving average convergence divergence. They help predict price reversals, momentum, and trend strength. Using these indicators alongside support and resistance levels can guide entry and exit decisions, making trading more informed and less emotional.

Learn the market first. Stuff like moving averages and MACD can help but they’re not the holy grail. You gotta get how the market moves, trust your gut, and make your own calls.

I think the key for beginners is not just which indicators to use, but understanding why they move the way they do. RSI and Stochastic can give early warnings about exhaustion, but without context from structure or price action, they’ll give too many false signals.

Personally, I’d say start with RSI + structure (support/resistance or zones), then gradually add confirmation tools like MACD or moving averages once you’re comfortable. The goal shouldn’t be to find the perfect indicator but to build confidence in how price reacts around them.

Moving average, RSI and MACD are the most common and handy ones.

All these indicators can be helpful however we also need learning the price action which does not requires any of the indicators yet learning price action requires too much patience and focus.

but won't you agree that using indicators along with the price action as some kind of extra layer of protection could provide a better edge. In my opinion they complement each other.

 

[rmufti68]

I mean to say that we can continue to learn price action which is more powerful while if we add an extra layer of indicators that means we are actually taking additional help and solid confirmations to enter the trade setups.

So you think solid price action alone is more valuable than price action confirmed by the indicators' signals, right?

 

[rmufti68]

I think what i write here is my opinion, tell me what do you think about trading with indicators only or having sense of the price action. I think we need one or more confirmations to enter in to any trade.

My best results came from RSI(14) only at HTF S/R, filtered by a rising 50-MA, if structure contradicts, I pass even on perfect signals

Which are the best indicators in technical analysis?

In my view, there is no best or worst; indicators are just tools, each has characteristics that could differ against the price, with their advantages and disadvantages, of course.
