The last two: Oscillators and Moving Averages... don't you find them to be a bit laggard when using them?
This is where many traders, in my opinion, get off track. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a lagging indicator if you use it to obtain the correct information. Many traders look to indicators for a signal TO trade when they should be using them to find areas NOT to trade. By being able to quickly and efficiently remove lower probability situations, you give yourself a greater chance at being correct.

Also, what about using tick chart and a volume/share chart, and a regular (time) chart concurrently. Would this fit your parameter of showing a different view of the markets?
It strongly depends if your vantage points are unique enough to quickly spot the required information. If during a certain market condition your time, tick, and volume charts are giving you similar bars then there is not enough difference to extract the required information.

how about price time and volume through in some tpo's and your good to go
I take it that when you say price and time you mean candlesticks on one time frame? If so I would consider that one, not two.
