Sure, using TA methods like Japanese Candlesticks, and RSI and MACD will help you get a SLIGHTLY better picture, but TA does not allow for the emotional aspect of it – say, when a stock in a particular sector blows up due to mismanagement or fraud, all the other stocks in that sector go down because of "guilt by association".
And, when folks panic for whatever reason, they dump stocks regardless of whether they are good or bad.
If I were to resume Day Trading ( I gave that up some time ago ), I would depend most heavily on the MOMENTUM indicator, and not hold for more than a few hours.
From experience, it is VERY difficult to make money consistently in Day Trading, and I hope you will consider a longer term perspective.
Choose stocks with good fundamentals, good management, a stable market space, then buy some. The probability of being able to exit with a profit increases the longer you hold it.
