Some traders prefer clean charts and focus entirely on price action, while others use indicators for additional confirmation.
Do indicators improve your analysis, or do you prefer trading with price action alone?
Whether you choose a clean chart with pure price action or add indicators comes down to what helps you execute your strategy consistently. Neither approach is inherently superior; price action focuses on raw supply, demand, and market structure, while indicators like moving averages, RSI, or MACD simply process that same price data into mathematical formulas to offer additional confirmation.
When trading on a funded account with a prop firm, managing risk and avoiding daily drawdown breaches is the top priority. Whatever tools you use, they should help you maintain strict discipline, clear stop-loss placement, and consistent position sizing.
