No indicators, just a state of mind, what is called the "zone" in sports. You 
don't observe the prices, you become the prices, you are the trend that goes 
up, that meets a bunch of sellers, you feel the buyers fueling you, swelling in 
the back, you feel the pressure that is building, the urge to get the sellers 
out of the way, you are the seed that wants to see the sun, you have the urge 
to move up, you buy out the last sellers, there it goes, out in the free air, 
no one out there to stop you, buyers keep pushing you, God are they many! You 
literally explode on the upside, reporters come to enquire what is happening, 
they want to know, you tell them look at me, sellers get out of the way 
fearful, you just dream this is so good.

Alarms ringing in the head, bells everywhere, who was that? somebody barred my 
path, Where are my buddies, hey where are you buyers? Gone, they are all gone, 
they are partying. Friends I am going home, I sell right there to the last 
spectator. Back to earth now. Big seller bully is running after me, he pushes 
me down, where are the buyers, I see fear in their eyes. They were so eager two 
minutes ago, what happened? All of sudden everything stops. It's so eerie out 
there, what's the matter?. Exit, I just exit here, go sleep, so tired.

That is the flow, buying, selling, exiting. indicators are only a peeping 
device, a limited way to see the portion of reality you chose to see.
