Now, if you compare as well with contrarian indicators like the slow stochastics, these contrarian indicators will give you signals that are way too fast. So, either indicators give you a signal that is way too fast or way too slow.
Like I said, trendlines can reduce the negative impact of both indicators at the same time. But, you do encounter different kinds of challenges like when prices go flat. I thought of different solutions like using wider trendlines. Also, when prices were moving up slowly, TheLastCoke posted a chart of fib levels in action. He posts very nice charts with trendlines adn fib levels etc. You'll probably learn a lot from looking at his charts. He has a thread here called "backing trades with charts" or something like that.
