Volume and price, the only two that have any significance in my opinion...

Sometimes I would add stochastic and bollinger bands too. And fibonaccis if someone was looking at my screen, or wanted to make impression for somebody who knows nothing about technical analysis. Never got into the other ones though.

 

ADX - DMI, Bollinger Bands, EMA's, etc.

Any of you do anything with P&F Charting? That might be a question for its own thread.

Price Action

volume

20/50/200 day moving averages (I also pay attention to their slopes)

Occasionally If i am trying to find a level to play off I will use Fibonacci's but in general I find them way too vague.

To those that think they are hocus pocus, while the idea to academics is ridiculous the truth is that too many people use levels and because so many people are playing off them it it makes them work. Self fullfiling prophecy.

"Oh the ladies ever tell you that you look like a fucking optical illusion" - Frank Slaughtery 25th Hour.
 

I use RSI, stochastics, and boilinger bands to gauge when the price is attractive. To all their own, but I usually get into my postions at a 1-3% discount to the stock's price in about a week.

Now there are other things to take into account like a 50-SMA and 200-SMA crossings, and media coverage, volume levels, but I find the boilinger bands to be most useful.

Take $BITA for example from last week, looking on a chart when it was trading at $32 and change, right on the lower band, next day shoots up 8%. This company is a lot more volatile as it is a huge growth stock, but in the case of technical analysis, the charts were right.
