For me a good indicator has characteristics that are easy to apply and we adjust to our strategies such as simple indicators but we can custom or settings according to the strategies we have, that's a good indicator.

The characteristic that I know for the best indicators is that they rarely repaint, even though all indicators repaint, but in my opinion a good indicator is the most rare repaint so we can use it to improve the accuracy of our analysis.

Indicators with good characteristics must be related to things that can be measured and clear in conducting the analysis

In my opinion all indicators have their own unique characteristics but it is not possible for a trader to learn the characteristics of all indicators due to time and ability limitations. In my opinion, a good indicator is simple, but most often provides profit and is widely used.

Of the many indicators that I know and use, it seems that the indicators are simple and easy to set the period of which gives a good signal with quite high accuracy, so the character indicators like that are what I think are quite sought after.

Simple and often used indicators such as MA, stocastik, fibo and so on, in my opinion have good indicator characteristics because it is quite a lot of help.

In my opinion there are many indicators that have good character, it's just that every trader only learns one or a few indicators so not all traders can see the characteristics of other indicators that are accurate if we want to explore it.

Indicators are very diverse and there are a lot of types. The average indicator is very good, the best good indicator in my opinion about a trading style match.

A good indicator can be known from its character but the success of the use of the indicator comes from the mastery of the indicator, although the indicator is very good but if used by inexperienced traders it will be less accurate.

I usually judge a good indicator or not from the indicator character in various time frames, whether the indicator fits in all time frames and what percentage of false signals or repaint in the time frame.

A good indicator does have a unique characteristic and is not owned by other indicators and these characteristics are certainly an advantage of these indicators such as good accuracy, rarely repaint and so on.

I'm sure all the existing default indicators are certainly good, the important thing is how we understand the indicator.

knowing the characteristics of a good indicator is very important because an indicator needs an adjustment in character and character of its users to make it easier to do the analysis.
