Hi yaniv_av,
Your question is not simple.
because as many trades as many indicators/systems. people are using trading systems for estimation, as indicators as trading systems (Ichimoku for example), or some forecasting (free or commercial) or estimating using some standard indicators.
Besicly it is not very difficult as we are always on the market trading and monitoring the price movement.
There are some links to related subject:

STIX indicator: elite section: .
Quote:
STIX is a short-term trading oscillator that was published
in The Polymetric Report. It compares the amount of
volume flowing into advancing and declining stocks.
According to The Polymetric Report:
STIX usually ranges between +42 and +58.
If STIX gets as low as 45, the market is almost
always a buy, except in a raging bear market.
The market is fairly overbought if STIX rises to 56;
and except in a new bull market, it's wise to sell if
STIX should go over 58.
Traders and investors should modify these rough rules
to suit their own objectives.
In normal markets, STIX rarely gets as high as 56 or
as low as 45, so rigid use of these rules of
thumb would keep you inactive most of the time.
For active accounts, the rules might be made much
less stringent.
Extremely Overbought greater than 58
Fairly Overbought greater than 56
Fairly Oversold less than 45
Extremely Oversold less than 42

MaksiGen_Range_Move:
the indicator as part of MaksiGen Trading system; it drawing horizontal trend line and support/resistance lines, also - breakout lines. The same indicator with alarm is
here.
Personally I prefer Ichimoku, or MaksiGen_Range_Move, or MTF_AbsoluteStrength_v1 indicator. Besides there are some indicators for M5 timeframes which i am using sometimes (PriceTrend or PriceTender with H1 settings created by Kalenzo).
But, anyway, almost everything is based on standard indicators so they are very good as well.
