The Difference Between "Indeed","Actually" and "In fact"

1. 'Actually' and 'in fact' are usually used to state that what immediately follows or proceeds it is true. 
It is used often in answer to a statement to say that the original statement was not really true. 
e.g:
"Are you a junior at the university?" "Actually, I'm a senior." 
"Did you go to China." "In fact, we visited three other countries besides China." 
"People think that he is great. Actually, I think he's a complete jerk." 
"A. I bet Nancy sold the most tickets.
  B. Indeed she did."

2. 'Indeed' is used to emphasize a point as being true; also it is used to express surprise.
e.g: 
"This is indeed a great occasion!" 
"We just got married." "Indeed! I hadn't heard about it."
"A. I bet Nancy sold the most tickets.
  B. No, in fact Susan sold a lot more than Nancy did."
