There is no one technical analysis indicator that will win 100% of the time. There is no holy grail of charting... and if there is, then someone is keeping one hell of a secret. However, technical analysis techniques can help you make educated decisions, putting the odds on your side that you are on the favorable direction of a move.
So the question is...
"Besides MarketClub's 'Trade Triangles', what is your favorite technical analysis indicator?"

How To Enter:
Comment on this post telling us what your favorite technical analysis study is and why. There are no wrong answers.
We want to you to share your thoughts and stories with our other visitors. Here are some responses from in the office to get you started:
Bob F. : I'm a fan of the MACD. I like to backtest various exponential moving average and signal settings for different markets.
Melissa P. : Average True Range is one of my favorites. I don't use this indicator for any other reason that to see activity. I can quickly see how much a stock has been moving throughout the day and leave the stagnant stocks alone.
Kenny S. : I have been trying to study up on the concepts regarding standard deviation. I'm still learning about Bollinger bands, but it's something that is very interesting thus far.
Lindsay T. : The MACD is one of my favorites too. I use the MACD crosses to confirm the "Trade Triangle" signals. When the market is moving sideways, I don't always follow each and every "Trade Triangle" unless I have a confirming back up.

Bernanke’s speech was a huge news story, and talk of QE2 ending / QE3 possibilities is going to be an even bigger spring story. So, we decided to get in on the fun, and think you should too! Guess what you think the exact number of the Dow (DJI) or Dollar (DX) value will be on the close of June 30, and the winner receives….
Isn't it hard to sit back and let someone else manage your money? If you are going take a loss wouldn't you rather it be your fault opposed to your broker?
