I use technical analysis for the fx market. Never went beyond moving averages. Never found the rest to be helpful since they are lagging indicators (so are moving averages of course).

I use fundamentals to pick tickers.

I use Fibonaccis, IV, 10, t0 and 200 day exponential moving averages, occassionally trend channels, and MACD.

Thre technicals help with picking entries and my short strikes.

I do two time frames.

My primary trade is a fundamentals based diagonal trade. In this my long is 90 to 120 days. In bull markets, or bull themed trades, the call has a delta of approximately 60 and the short starts roughly 14 days out will a delta of 30.

Right now, for example, I am long term bullish on semiconductor equipment, ASML & Lam Research. Because there is little capital penalty in going longer in time I am going longer than 90 days out. This also reduces the risk of timing the market recovery.

For a bear theme or bear market, the deltas are just the same magnitude but are puts. I'm bearish on cruise lines for example.

I also do bull put and bear calls on indices, primarily RUT AND SPX. In typically is approximately 50 days out to start with the short at delta of 15. The long is $10 away.

The index trades are HEAVILY dominated by the technicals. I never enter as an iron condor, but often end up with one as the market cycles.

I use the technicals to time my entries to some extent on my diagonals.

I use 3 indicators across a weekly, daily chart and hourly charts. ( recently started hourly with short term trades )

1) MACD
2) Elders force index
3) envelopes


I look for divergences in MACD vs price and force index vs price to spot trends. I recently started moving averages to spot entries and exists.
