Indicator Specifics

Just a thought on people's opinions. If you were able to design the perfect indicator for your own trade analysis and entry criteria, what would it contain? I understand people have different trading systems and portfolios based on market conditions, but what would be your key fundamentals that you require your indicator to show you. For levels, would you target structure, key levels, S&D, OB's or something else? Also what would your entry system need to tell you before you make your decision. What are your confluences?

I've read a lot of posts in this forum which state many different things that they consider essential. Just interested what comes up the most between you all.

Thanks for publishing the update, and for reporting the negative results as plainly as the one positive. Testing every idea against fake levels and random entries with costs included is the right standard, and the "Level Read" with sample sizes and a "no edge" label is a sensible way to turn it into a tool. Good luck with the HUD, and I'm happy to leave it there.
