Not really. Overhyped as being placed upon a pedestal it doesn't deserve. A false God if trading. And idol which is but a wood.

About money and indicators--->
First of all charting softwares may charge A LOT for extra indicators
2nd) All the books and courses teaching you about all these new complex indicators that are a must unless you want to lose.

And doesnt backtesting, um, lag the price, somewhat? If ever there were a lagging "indicator", used to back up a trading method, that would be the ultimate, surely? Indicators are ok, its the computers fault.
Since computers do not think it is never their fault... There is no stupid computer only stupid end user (and or programmer).
