I use indicators as needed, when I need more indicators then I will only add one technical indicator to my trading system so we have to be effective using technical indicators.

I am used to using 1 or 2 indicators because I focus more on the trading system by using a special strategy that I often call the strategy of combining candle patterns with high impact news.

I usually use 2 technical indicators to confirm my price action strategy, actually it is also less important as an indicator because I am already naked trading, but I am often unsure if there is no indicator confirmation.

there are several indicators that I often use but I don't use all at once, sometimes I only use 1 piece or sometimes up to 2 pieces. in fact the use of technical indicators is only as a tool so it is not mandatory and free to use whatever.

I often use more than 3 indicators, but when I do not find the slightest picture of trading signals, but during normal market conditions I only use 2 indicators.

I often use any indicator I want and it depends on the complexity of the analysis that I use because the indicator determines how well a trader uses it.

I have used a combination of indicators in varying numbers, sometimes 1 indicator is enough, sometimes 2 and so on according to my trading mood and also my needs in using tools or indicators.

Regardless of the indicators used, it is not a problem, as long as we know how to use these indicators.
We must study the indicators before using or combining them.

Indicators are used to assist analysis, so an understanding of indicators must be mastered.
Indicators can indeed be combined and can use more than 1 indicator.
but for me it is more effective with 1 indicator but very good at it

Sometimes I am trading only based on price action with candlestick pattern, make more simple in trading analysis and make a plan trading, but indeed still not easy to make effective trading all the way, loss sometimes inevitable and make confused in the minds

the use of indicators is better adjusted as needed.
What are the signals you want to get, if you want to see the trend, just one indicator.

too many indicators are also not good because you will be confused, you should only use 1 or 2 indicators because it will make the eye not confused and also make analysis easier

In principle, if you already understand 1 indicator to use for trading, that is enough.
Instead of using many indicators but not understanding how they work.

I don't think you need too much, just 1 or 2 indicators but back to each trader because indicators are not determinants of profit but your trading method determines
