Good advise already given.
You may want to combine those given and work more toward the slot and up higher. I have tried working high and in the slot more this year and have had many compliments on my consistancy. You can see both the zone, from working higher, and up and down from the slot.
Usually as you say, you miss the outside corner, but the catcher usually gives that pitch away by his glove movement. Also by working higher you can get a good look at it.
You ask, "What should I be looking for to know my positioning is good?"
When you don't have to eject anyone for arguing balls and strikes.
