The 3 Best Buy and Sell Indicators for Trading: Trade Examples and Analysis
Introduction
Buy and sell indicators are widely regarded as one of the easiest indicators to use when it comes to trading. They make it easy to know exactly when to enter into a long or short position. However, many buy and sell indicators are not profitable or just aren’t used correctly. In today’s video, we will be showcasing the 3 best buy and sell indicators, along with trade examples of how they can be used.
Alpha Trend Indicator
The first indicator we will be looking at is the Alpha trend indicator. This indicator is designed to have more accurate buy and sell signals during trending markets by combining indicators that are compatible with each other, such as trend, momentum, volume, and volatility indicators. The indicator now also tries to minimize signals in sideways markets. Every time the blue line crosses above the red line, a buy signal will be plotted, and the opposite is true for a sell signal, which means that every time the blue line crosses below the red line, a sell signal is given.
Trade Example Using Alpha Trend Indicator
To enter into a buy position, we will first need a buy signal to be provided by the alpha trend indicator, which means that the blue line will need to cross above the red line. Along with this, we will also need for the price action to break above the support or resistance channel indicator. This shows us that there is a lot of momentum in the market. As you can see, this is the case here, so let’s enter into a position. We will be placing the stop loss at the recent swing low. For the take profit, we will be targeting a 1.5 times risk-to-reward ratio.
Range Filter Indicator
The next buy and sell indicator is called the range filter. This indicator is designed to filter out minor price action for a clearer view of trends. The indicator includes bar colors to showcase the filtered price trend. However, since we are using it as a buy and sell indicator, let’s disable these colors to make the chart less cluttered. To optimize the indicator, we will be changing the input settings by changing the sampling period to 50, and the range multiplier to 5.
Trade Example Using Range Filter Indicator
Even though there were a lot of profitable signals that were given in this period, if we take a look at other signals, we can see that there are still false signals that are being provided. We can see that the faulty signals that are provided occur when the indicator goes against the greater trend. To filter out these signals, we will add a few extra indicators to the chart.
Buy-Low-Sell-High Composite Indicator
The next indicator is an all-in-one buy and sell indicator that combines the RSI, EMA difference, and macD into one indicator. The indicator is called the Buy-low-sell-high composite. The composite is the red and green colored area, and the line with the crossover signals represents the macD. Each dot represents a buy or sell signal based on if it’s green or red.
Trade Example Using Buy-Low-Sell-High Composite Indicator
To enter into a buy position, we will need to see a buy signal represented by the green dots in the composite area. Along with this, we will need to see the macD line cross above the signal line. As you can see, this is the case here, so let’s enter into a position. We will be placing the stop loss at the recent swing low. For the take profit, we will be targeting a 1.5 times risk-to-reward ratio.
Conclusion
In conclusion, buy and sell indicators are an excellent tool for traders to use when executing trades in the market. However, it’s important to remember that not all buy and sell indicators are profitable or suitable to use for all trading styles. In today’s video, we showcased the three best buy and sell indicators, along with trade examples of how they can be used. It’s essential to take the time to understand each indicator before using it for your trading strategy. With the right knowledge and patience, buy and sell indicators can be an extremely useful tool in achieving trading success.
