Thinking to learn to understand the chart and I would like to know what indicators to use.
at the moment I have MACD / Relative Strength Index / Momentum
what other indicators are important to use?

I use Moving Average indicators to determine trend direction and value chart to indicate oversold and overbought area of price those are two major indicators that aid my trades I mostly took my trading decisions based on price actions I watch out for exhaustion candles at a major support or resistance while those indicators are majorly used a quide as in I don't really depend on them too much.

Depending on your own strategy, you can use any indicator you need.
Having a complicated indicator won't change anything but confusing you.
If you ask me I would was I'm using ATR to calculate the value in the high time frames and then I'll remove it to clear out my chart.
And then using MACD/RSI/CCI to find possible Hidden Divergence.
Mostly I use the simple tools such as trend lines, shapes and Fibo.
But in the end It's up to you and the strategy you use.

MACD
RSI
S&R
Trendlines

These are only the indicators that ive been using since and sometimes i do even only use naked trading just
having some onpoint imaginary support and resistance line but all varies with experience because not all would able to do such thing.
When it comes to indicators then it will depend on what suits you,as long you do able to make profits then that would be fine.

Simplicity is the key to become profitable trader, it is not about how many indicators that you are using; it is about how you master a certain indicators. I only use two indicator which is the RSI and moving average. I do not use MACD anymore because it is laggard indicator where it giving signals late. RSI is good for me because it can give you a right signal to enter or exit in a trade. You need to master few indicators in order for you to become better trader. Remember that mastery can lead to consistency.

I have also struggled in choosing an indicator to use before but but then focused on ATR, Stochastics, Fibonacci, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channel and Moving Averages that I incorporated into one indicator producing possible buy and sell signals. I also backtested this strategy since 2016 and using it for the past months which is quite good. If anyone wants to try it here's the link will be glad to help

Apart from having this indicators you should know how to use them at the appropriate time, Rsi, MACD, FIBONACCI, BOLLINGER BAND, this are cool indicators to make use of, and another thing you should learn apart from using the indicators, learn the time frame too.

The time frame is my other problem, I was wondering from where to where. Many people start & stop drawing on an unknown time that I couldn't figure out.

I know how to read RSI & MACD, but Fibonacci still an obstacle for me. Other signals like S&P 500, Bollinger, etc. are another plus to analyze and get more accurate for the own prediction.

And yes, it is very important to chose the coin and time to invest.

It can be useless at all if you'll never know how to use it.
No matter how many tools we have but this will not guarantee that it gives you a profitable trades. Choosing the best and right coin for trade is very important.

It maybe I didn't appreciate these tool because I didn't even use this. Because only I have is to track the market trend and have my own market analysis. Believing that this can be enough.

besides of RSI & MACD, I gave a try to Fibonnaci and seems pretty cool with the Fib Retracement.

I'm not an expert and still learning on this, been watching some youtube but can't find how exactly use it (Using I mean draw and read). any idea where I can find a good tutorial?

Just keep learning, you can find it more if you engage in a physical trading.
I also watch videos on youtube but I had to find that some tutorial videos could sometimes mess you up and lead to misunderstanding and suffering losses. But if you work into a real trading scenario, without having the use of these tools you can still be gaining if you are at a perfect timing. Not all these tools will work great if you don't know how it uses, by simply looking into the market volume, you have already an idea what you should do next...and that is using our common sense which is the most important tool in trading.

I personally think that Bollinger band is shit, I have used it many many times before and it never really fully works, whenever bitcoin does something major Bollinger band becomes totally useless. I think the best case right now for indicators are probably going under 200 or not, if that happens that usually means something but that changes very much, weekly averages drop under 200 all the time but you have to wait for the next week to see it and then it becomes nothing by that point.

Just go with the flow, check the supports and resistance and check the walls and how much there is and that is about all you can hope for, nothing else. Indicators are one part of the discussion, the global hype for when going down or up is the other and looking at indicators you can only see 50% of the situation.

What indicator do you use along with Bollinger band?

I didn't quite understand Bollinger band too but there are users who seem to be doing well using it. Someone recommend it and the link tutorial on how to use it in the forum can't remember where but I have bookmarked it. If anyone wants to try this out maybe this will help you too https://medium.com/interdax/an-introduction-to-trading-bitcoin-with-bollinger-bands-9e484db9353b

Those were fine, i used MACD before Bollinger Band and RSI. But after learning other indicators that I think will work fine with my tradings, I have changed some indicators. Now, I have been using Stoch RSI, RSI, and EMA only. But remember, those were just your basis. Regardless how great you are at reading technical analysis, there are times that it isn't effective when whales were tend to enter the crypto market and make such unexpected sideways.

But I would admit, it helps me a lot in my tradings. It is significant to know how to read indicators, volume , etc. As it may contribute to the success of every trades.

You have that MACD already, but it wasn't enough for sure.
Most of the time and I usually checking its volume and rely on the market trend. More tracking devices could only slip you out from focus and you even bothered by then. But if you can only focus on one tool track and its market volume, you will able to work it well.

Not all these kinds of stuff could help you to gain more profit in trading but also it matters how you act base on what you have seen in the market. This is all about decision making and as well as the choice of coin.

All of this makes sense, if you are a trader you should know all of them by heart anyway, even if you use only handful of them you should all of them. Resistance points play a great point but as you can see from what happened recently, sometimes resistance or support doesn't mean anything, where was resistance points when we moved from $10k to $20k, all of them were broken very easily, or when recently when we moved from $8k to $4k, where was it?

Definitely, sometimes they are important but sometimes they are useless. This goes for all others, RSI, MACD, Bollinger band, whatever you can think of, sometimes they do work and you make a profit, but sometimes they are worthless and make absolutely no sense at all, bitcoin is a volatile thing and doesn't matter time to time.

Support and resistance line can be seen with fibonacci which I think is enough that you don't have to draw them every time there is a breakout.

Tradingview limits only 3 indicators for the free users. Two indicators are enough for you to decide what to do with your trade every time there is a signal. so combining RSI and MACD is enough.

I would only use the support and resistance method, if the key support or resistance is broken i would wait for a consolidation before buying. Also i use the falling wedge and rising wedge methods cause they're actually pretty accurate most of the time.
Indicators is i rarely use, cause it doesn't seem to be effective in the Cryptocurrency market.

how's the support and resistance calculated? every week Monday to Monday?

what I am looking for are the most important indicators, each trader has their respective favorite so we can see tons of suggestions.
lots of traders do long term, short terms, or even both.

as I know, RSI & MACD are the most common and used. I failed to use the support & resistance because of unknowledged on how to read.
need to figure out what to use so I can prevent my previous error, error that made me buy before drop and/or sell in the right moment. this part implicates to short term related.

my point is to predict and do some trading in small scale, I mine & buy for long term but now might think to do little short term.
I've been watching Alessio Rastani for a while, from there I learnt something.

People who want to learn about trading world need to read trend first and MACD is recommended indicator. We need to know market direction because this is our guide to make good plan. About another indicator ( RSI, Momentum, SO, etc ) can be use as enter and exit point. Some people also use it to calculate target and stop loss. Indicator create to help trader but with different purposes and setting, reading trend is the basic.

You should take note that it is not important to know many indicators, it is better if you will only use few indicators. uis important and you will only be confused if you will use many indicators. Focus on mastering the current indicator that you are using today. I only use 2 indicators which is MA and RSI. MACD is a laggard indicator and it doesn't suit my trading style. Find also a indicator that you can use where your style are fit with it.

I think that is enough for you, and if you can learn more about that indicator, I guess you will have a chance to get the right time to buy and sell. Perhaps, you can add Bollinger Bands too as the other indicator so you can see where is the trend of the coin price. It is better to learn 3-4 indicator than to learn so many indicators because you will need a long time before you can know how to use each indicator. But that is up to you because we know what we can learn and we know how to use it properly. I am sure each of us will have their indicator that will help them to analyze the market and the coin.
