I use a short 3 day aroon as back up for DMI when a price spike creates errors in the DMI.
I use CMF to see retail short term mindset and also use 5,10,20 MA to tell when to be in or out of a stock.
All these are for short swing trading. 2 weeks or shorter.
If your looking for a longer hold, the standard MACD, STO & RSI work well. But you could still use the DMI or 5,10,20 MA for entry/exit signals. Mainly 5,10,20MA for a longer hold play.
When 5,10,20MA line up in order, own the stock, when they line up 20,10,5MA don't own the stock. The crosses can help with entry/exit of a longer hold play. If you bought or are selling your over all trade in 3 or 4 steps, in or out.
DMI crosses help with a single buy or sells , on longer hold plays.
