I figure most guys who sell advice aren’t making any money, so they have to sell books or CDs. The guys making the money are too busy trading to share their expertise. Also, why would they want to let the world in on their secrets?

You can’t always rely on perceived wealth as an indicator of proficiency either. Could be a trust fund guy who trades stocks as a hobby and makes no real money from his trades.

Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.
