Here is the indicators for beginners who are stepping in the trading world, some good indicators to start with are moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, and Bollinger Bands. These help you see trends, momentum, and possible price changes before they happen. They’re like signals to help guide your trades.

I follow the combination of Moving Average and RSI and it works wonder even though newbies may find it difficult to understand.

Moving average and Bollinger bands aren't leading indicators. I'd say that any oscillator can be a good leading technical indicator if you understand what it really shows (like how it's calculated) and don't act like its signals are some indisputable prophecy.

Great suggestions! Moving averages, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands are excellent indicators for beginners to start with. Moving averages can help smooth out price action and identify trends. The RSI is great for spotting overbought or oversold conditions, which can indicate potential reversals. MACD is useful for identifying momentum and trend shifts, while Bollinger Bands give you a sense of volatility and potential price breakouts. Together, they form a solid toolkit for understanding market behavior and making more informed trading decisions. It's all about practice and getting comfortable with how they work!

Leading indicators I like to use RSI and Bollinger bands, but sometimes it needs a combination with others, such as candlestick patterns, to confirm because leading indicators may face false signals.

Good list to start with. Just don’t rely on them blindly, learn why they work, not just how they look. Price action still rules!
