IAC - I use CCI to determine the validity of candlesticks. A CCI stronger than 200 is the only time I'll consider a candlestick as an indicator of pivot points. This set-up works best in a non trending reactionary market. I believe the two indicators work best on a 6 month chart - ST.
I use RSI, ADX, and Moving Averages as a team - that's how I determine the quality and strength of the trend. I use those three indicators on a 12 month chart - IT.
