Top 5 Indicators for Prop Trading
When trading prop firm accounts, managing risk and drawdown is vastly more critical than seeking high win rates. Here are the 5 essential indicators top prop traders rely on:
- 1. Average True Range (ATR): Essential for calculating dynamic stop loss distances tailored to current market volatility.
- 2. Session Volume Profile (VPVR): Pinpoints key institutional supply and demand zones.
- 3. Exponential Moving Averages (20 & 50 EMA): Provides instant trend direction and dynamic trend pullbacks.
- 4. Relative Strength Index (RSI - 14): Spot momentum divergences before reversals wipe out daily drawdown limits.
- 5. Daily VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): Benchmark used by algorithms for intra-day fair value.
