Here's a truth most trading educators won't tell you: more indicators don't mean better trades. In fact, the traders who clutter their charts with a dozen overlapping signals are often the ones who freeze up — or worse, pull the trigger at exactly the wrong moment.
Options trading is especially unforgiving here. Unlike buying and holding a stock, options are time-sensitive instruments. Timing matters just as much as momentum and direction, if not more so. And if your chart is a mess of conflicting signals, you'll second-guess every entry and exit.
