Why traders search for cleaner signal generators

[PalmerX]

Trying out new trading generators has been draining lately because most of them promise clear setups but rarely deliver anything reliable. Charts often become too crowded, and the signals arrive late or contradict each other. What I really want is something that highlights both strengths and weaknesses without forcing me to decipher dozens of formulas. If anyone has experience with a tool that stays consistent and doesn't turn every session into a puzzle, I’d appreciate some direction.

Many traders eventually discover that too much information on the screen makes decisions harder instead of easier. Clean indicators that focus on basic movement can give much better clarity. Somewhere along that journey, learning how a momentum oscillator behaves becomes a big help, especially because it tracks acceleration and deceleration of price in a very readable way. You don’t have to interpret endless parameters, and it pairs nicely with trend tools for confirming entries. When markets move fast or slow down sharply, it shows the shift immediately, making it reliable even for shorter sessions. Might be a strong fit if you're tired of cluttered screens.

Following along here because the problem sounds familiar. Overloaded charts have pushed me to simplify my setups too, so hearing about alternatives that work in a cleaner style is helpful. Staying close to tools that track basic movement feels like a smarter long-term approach. Curious to see what other people recommend as well.
