What moves the market is a difference of opinion. Fortunately we dont agree on everything. I would like to point out that not all indicators are lagging. Momentum often leads price and divergences, which are not always obvious by price alone, can be very lucrative.

Good stuff Oldtrader. Different strokes for different folks. I think there are two types. Leftbrain and rightbrain maybe. Linda Raschke is not too bad a trader and she loves her indicators. Whatever works for you!!

He has a 50/50 chance of being right. If hes wrong everybody will forget about it. If hes right hes set for the next couple of years.
