Indicators of any kind are a self fullfilling prophacy including support / resistance.
That means the more people are using it the more they are seeing the same thing. This is good and bad.
Good that momentum might be on tour side.
Bad in that institutional traders know what you see and short squeeze your position in the hope to stop tou out.
You will be surprised how well you do by doing the opposite of what your first instinct would be.
There is no best indicator.

You want to see price action which show the sentiment of participants. Are they in fear or greed mode. Conflunce this with market structure and your on a good road to have high probability on your side. Indicators by nature are lagging and show you only what you have missed. And whats the point of that.

For example in equities trading. Prop traders buy into stocks based on company earnings forecasts. These forecasts are disclosed during mandated scheduled reporting as part of being listed on an exchange. Traders buy into these forecasts and sell when earning are released during earnings season. Most retail traders buy when earning are released which by than is already too late. The only thing retail do at this time is to provide liquidity for the pros who sell the stock which has already gone up when correct earning are realised.
Take a step back and look at your indicators and ask your self. How do these help me to determine where price will most likely be going rather than where price is at now.
I used to have all these indicators on my chart until i realised they actually dont provide nothing new.
Market structure ie support and resistance and market harmonics as well as price action is the closest you get to non lagging TA indicators.

I find that not all indicators are exposing the same results when applied on different time frames. So, I think that the best approach is to spend time testing your chosen set of indicators. Never use only one, but try to get confirmation of signal from several indicators

1) elliott wave
2) fib retracement / extensions
3) candle patterns
4) support and resistance lines / price channels
MA, and a most others are lagging. And only show you what you would already see on the chart. And when you have lots they don't always match up and that confuses people.
