No one method is right or wrong finding what you like is what is important. If you fully underst how something like Demarker oscillator or disparity index or any of the other indicators work you are comfortable with it then that is a good indicator for you.
There really is no debate about fundamental v price patterns v technical they are just different styles to get you to the same place.
It's like travelling A to B debating what is best between a plane a car a motorbike or a pushbike.
They all get you there eventually but with different risks involved.

Well said. My thoughts as well.
Though some indicators are of course 'more populars' than others. Whether we can say that makes them better or not is open to discussion. But i think if an indicator is used a lot it there's likely a reason why so it's always to a trader's advantage to check these out first foremost then make their own decisions as to what works best perhaps all of them or perhaps only one or maybe even none. As for which are the most popular i'd have to say based on my newbie observations they're the MACD stochastics fibonacci levels moving averages RSI.
