Here are a number of lagging and leading indicators that can help you to determine your strategy. This chart showcases indicators that are based on momentum, trend, volatility, or use charts studies to predict price action. The idea is to avoid duplicating any category as it will provide the same information in a different method; potentially creating a false confirmation.

• Only leading indicators can help to predict future price action

• Lagging indicators only reports the most recent information (candle sticks) to create a prediction.

• Buyers/sellers or Catalysts can always interrupt both leading and lagging

Recommendations

• Most decisions can be made using price action (price and volume), but lagging indicators can help us to see the big picture and see potential reversals

• Use a Trend indicator to see the continued move in your desired direction and if the trend is beginning to falter

• Use a Momentum indicator to see the beginning of trends starting to slow down
