Trading naked?
I know that new traders usually ponder at the question of whether they should trade with or without indicators. From what I can see, some traders glorified the trading style of "trading naked" which means no indicators needed and brushing aside those traders who rely on indicators to make trade decisions. I remember few years ago I went into spread betting and trade the Forex market without indicators, I made and lost some money but over all I am profitable. In my opinion, using indicators (my system now relies on few indicators) definitely nothing wrong with it if you know how to use them correctly. Combining momentum indicator such as Stochastic with trend indicator like ADX can prove useful when determining on how you should make your next move.

In a trendy market, traders look for retracement to re-enter a position and using momentum indicator as a 'guide', follow by looking for 'critical' support or resistance level, one can minimize their risk. By looking at trend indicator, for example on a uptrend, you will look for a price dip to buy again (selling is out on an uptrend). Price action such as candlestick formation, or using Fibonacci to determine support and resistance levels are also useful to increase your probability.

Interestingly, all these are based on personal belief on how the market works. It doesn't matter if you are trading naked or with clothes (pun intended), there is no right or wrong way, for as long as the system works, continue to use and trade with confidence. With or without indicators, you must be comfortable with your trading system.
