FX:EURUSD   Euro / U.S. Dollar
Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. The topic of our first educational post for the day is the following: Price Action vs Technical Indicators.

To begin with, each and every traders has his or her own strategy. Some of them would prefer using only indicators to open trades, some would use indicators as confluences, some of them do not use indicators at all and so forth. The truth is, indicators deceive a lot of new beginner traders into thinking that they are the key to successful trading and investing. Right after hoping on the charts, beginners tend to saturate their graphics with tons of indicators which contradict to each other. One indicator shows a buy signal, another one shows a sell signal, which makes it harder for traders to make decisions on the markets. Of course, using some spesific indicators as confluences to open positions is not bad at all. If it fits your strategy, you may add some technical indicators to backup your analysis. But at the end of the day, using several indicators and saturating your beautiful graphs with them will never lead you to success.

All in all, as it has been stated above, everyone has his or her own strategy. Therefore, if indicators work for you, go ahead and implement them in your analyses! At the end of the day, it is all about making money, isn’t it?

Have an amazing Friday and a brilliant upcoming weekend, everyone!
