  • Is Ichimoku A Leading Or Lagging Indicator?

    From dailyfx.com

    Everything about Ichimoku works to help you determine where the likely price action will be should the trend continue. As a trend follower, you likely go against your gut instinct by entering at higher prices in anticipation of trend continuation. This can be tough but Ichimoku works to give you a clear picture of what will likely transpire based on recent price action. Ichimoku provides traders with a “one glance” approach to analyzing the market. In essence in one glance, you should be able to see if market is trending or not. If markets are trending, then Ichimoku can help you see where support and resistance ... (full story)

Try Williams Percentage range; one set at 16 thin yellow in colour superimposed on one set at 32 purple in colour max thickness. Quite reasonable leading indicator. Time frames to be adjusted to best. The yellow should be on top of purple. MT4.
All indicators are lagging

There's no such thing as an indicator. They're all called repaintors
try to use 2-3 indicators at the same time if you want to find something useful for the future, not only one
try to use as many indicators as possible - RSI, stochastic , alligator , MACD , no less than 5 moving averages , bollinger bands, ATR, CCI, Keltner channel, Zig Zag, a couple of ichimoku clouds - then simply remove price - it can tend to get in the way a bit
Only five MAs? Pfftt, that'll never work and don't forget price needs to go your way on seven different time frames before you remove it off the charts and then pull the trigger

5 minimum ... did not know about the 7 timeframe thing though, thanks for pointing out
all complicated thing are called best or allinone indicator bla bla.
but they r just Indicator useless without a good analyst
Indicators do provide help in only a hint about the probable divergence or overbought and oversold conditions nothing else. Price action is very reliable technique If you can used it properly And good example would be charting techniques. I am trading since quite a while now and I found all of them useless except volume . Based on my knowledge I am looking to short Euro and Kiwi both beside they have broken through 1.2986 and 0.8213 for a contination towards 1.2750 and 0.7680 with stops around 1.3070 and 0.8270 if you are position trade This is totally price follow through now indicator

Hope it helps you all
