Agree. Too many indicators only confound the issue.

Support & Resistance, a basic Moving Average of appropriate length, maybe some sort of stochastic, depending on timeframe (no use for day trading), maybe a volatility indicator overlay (Bollinger) though certainly not essential and Fibonacci lines if you believe in the principle.

Combine that with knowing where sophs and mgmt are in at and you're halfway home in playing the specs.
