the limitations of the tools as discussed by me in the above mentioned articles are not deathknell.

they are real and necessary evils which i accept.

and have resolved to use as contours of a strategy.

1. rsi / william
= i stop following them at the first sign of "bermuda triangle" effect. for rest of the occasions i continue to trust them.
in fact, by not behaving in the copybook fashion, rsi and william tell me silently and indirectly what i should know.

2. options data spread
= don't look at it for first 7 days. thereafter, the sting is generally out.

3. 8-34 sma
= using this to segregate between up and down trends and rangings
and hence take btst stbt and pro-trend intraday shots
also, using this as a confirmation tool.

4. elliot wave
= use as a guide and confirmatory tool to double-check trend and thus take better shots.

5. intraday options data
= i don't use it at the start of trends (range breakouts and sma 34 crossovers)
for rest of the times it works ok especially if i resist the temptation of anti-trend bait by it.

6. yesterday range breakout
= they are less but that is not their fault. just can't say no to those. take it as per availability.

7. btst
= take these and increase the number of profitable trade beyond the "yesterday range breakout" ones

8. call/put options strategies
= just buy plain vanilla options for intraday and btst stbt. risk is limited to give sound sleep and time decay is minimal.
