I prefer to use indicators
the indicator is used as a tool to analyze I think it's true, or as a filter to see the tendency of price movements, but the thing to remember is, the indicator is only limited to calculating incoming data, meaning that of course it will be late, there are also indicators that are static such as fibo, or trend line, it is only for measuring, so whether or not the importance of an indicator is important depends on each trader, the important thing is to be able to generate profits consistently.
