Am I relying on one indicator too much in my trading decisions?
Answer About Your Main Indicator
Think about the single indicator you lean on most, then answer honestly.

Answer all 6 questions and click See My Result to check how reliant you are on a single indicator.
How this is calculated
Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points. The lower-scoring answers reflect using multiple independent signals, the higher-scoring answers reflect leaning on one indicator alone.
This is a self-check on process diversity, not a judgment of any specific indicator. A good indicator used as your only signal is still a single point of failure.
A high score does not mean the indicator itself is wrong or unreliable. It means your process has little to fall back on if that one signal stops working in current conditions.
Combining independent signals, like a trend tool, a volume or volatility tool, and price structure, tends to catch more false signals than any single tool alone.
