Thanks now I know…how will I get the video thou
Leading indicators are also called Oscillators. These are the Forex technical indicators which give you an entry/exit signal before the actual occurrence of the respective event.
This alleged distinction is pure fiction.
It’s totally wrong and has absolutely no underlying basis at all.

No criticism intended, BK, but it’s one of those things one sometimes sees which is honestly so mistaken and weird that it’s almost comical.
I’m guessing that you saw someone else saying it in a forum and just decided to believe it because the person sounded like someone who knew something?
That’s often how these deeply misguided ideas get passed on!
Displaying indicators in the form of oscillators below the chart doesn’t give them any “less lagging” or “more predictive” powers than any other kind of indicator.
Displaying the information that goes into producing an “Awesome Oscillator”, for example, in its normal AO form doesn’t make it any less lagging or more predictive than it would be by displaying the same moving-average-based information on the chart itself. The same is true of MACD’s and loads of others. It’s just a convenient way to display it, reducing the information mathematically to something that ranges from -1.0 up to +1.0, or from -100% up to 100% (or whatever format is used), so that you don’t have to gauge by eye the distance between lines and see whether they’re converging/diverging or whatever, and clutter up your price chart panel with the same information.
If you think about it for a minute, you’ll surely see that this is self-evident?

Thanks, Lukas - you’ve said it much more clearly than I managed.
The point to understand is that whether it’s an “oscillator” or an “on-chart indicator” affects only how and where it’s displayed, not the historical price-information from which it’s constructed, so there couldn’t possibly be any logic behind the contention that oscillators are somehow “less lagging” than on-chart indicators.
Hi! ok… in very simple words it works like this: when the green line is above the two others, it is an upward trend. When the blue line is above - it is a downward trend.
I use it for some time so even don’t need to watch the lines, it’s like intuitively I hope my explanation is understandable
I am also like with price action and candlestick pattern, this is simple way to analyze the trend market and usually will using candlestick ;pattern on daily timeframe and also H1 but look on weekly also to analyze major trend

That’s pretty obscure even by your standards, Bearish. Honestly, you couldn’t make up some of the gibberish drivel that passes for “forum posts”, here.

There is no such thing as “the best indicator”. There are a lot of indicators and a lot of strategies using different indicators, all of which can be profitable. What people pick depends on what they need, so “the best indicator” is a very subjective thing.
Not to mention that some people stick to pure price action altogether and don’t use indicators.

The best indicators are the daily and weekly charts 
Here I use EMA 21 and default sitting of RSI! In addition, I mainly use daily trading chart!
Yes, a daily and weekly chart works as a best indicator. But it not works continually. For that reason we have to depend on others on to calculate the market with certainly.
All we have specific trading indicators that we use to bring profit but there is no indicator which works 100%. How many pips you can earn by your trading indicators it competently depends on your money managing approach. So, try to ensure 100% money management approach.
Thank you very much. Very good and simple example. I can understand very easily.
In a nutshell, I look at the weekly chart, I place support and resistance on the weekly chart, switch to the daily and plot any that stare out at me, I don’t look for them. These will be the highest probability for reversal or trend continuation. Then when I see one of those levels being hit, I will then place my stop loss above/below that candle, and put in a pending order at the level that gives enough profit. I risk the same amount on each trade, so my lot size will be double what it is when it’s 10 pips away from stop compared to 20.
That’s it really, I will split the trade, and close half when I’ve got some profit. Targets are the support and resistance lines.
Sometimes I have no idea if the market will go in my direction or not, but what I know is that if it does I aiming for over 3 to 1 profit or more.
I made 50% profit on my account this week, it’s a small amount, and I don’t claim to be a mega trader or anything, but it does prove that it’s possible to make a lot of money using the longer timeframe charts, and you can get tight stops that allow that.
Most of all it’s easy, I’m pretty sure it will work long term, I don’t see why not, the whole thing is designed to keep the most undisciplined trader like me out of those undisciplined trades.
To me 50% in a week sounds a huge amount.
Please keep posting: we can all learn a lot from you.
Thanks, Corbie. If you made 50% profit in a week, then your strategy is definitely one you should stick with and keep implementing with your trades.
Pigs bum. 50% in one week at this level means over use of leverage and or over trading. Both will blow up your account sooner rather than later. Go back to the junior league son, when you grow up you can come play with the big boys.
