Honest Talk: Which Trading Signals Still Work for You in 2025?

[Katherine Thomas]

Let’s skip the fluff.
So many trading signals out there are either lagging, overhyped, or designed for whales.
Which ones still work for real people in real-time?
Moving averages?
Divergences?
Volume spikes?
Let’s talk about what’s still reliable—and what you’ve totally ditched.

Most signals these days feel like noise unless you’re a bot or a whale. Moving averages? Laggy. Divergences? Sometimes helpful, but not magic. Volume spikes? Probably the most legit real-time tell—if you know the context. Honestly, I’ve ditched most of the fancy stuff and just watch price action + key levels. Clean and real.

 

[Mary]

Most indicators are just echoes of the past—reflections, not revelations. Real edge comes from understanding why the market moves, not just when. Tools like volume or divergences can hint at intent, but without context and discipline, they’re just noise. In the end, simplicity and patience outlast hype.

 

[Isla]

Totally feel this. Most signals are just dressed-up hindsight. Moving averages? Meh, too slow. Divergences? Decent, but need confirmation. Volume spikes? Probably the most useful in real time. I’ve ditched the clutter—price action and clean support/resistance still hold up best.
