Creative Uses for Lagging Indicators

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has discovered a leading signal from using lagging indicators such as stochastics etc?

 

Is it possible? How limited is creativity and reality?

Something that I have come across is to use the signal opposite of what it was intended to do. For example, instead of going short when stochastics enters oversold, look for a long. Just an idea, haven't tested it at all.

Perhaps that is why most have problems using indicators. The intended use is perhaps misleading?

 

Interesting comments. Have you traded these instances that you have come across?

If you can identify a cyclical component in a time series you can tune an oscillator to be phase advanced to it. Having said that if you can identify a cyclical component why not just trade the cycle high and lows! You might want to check out Ehlers books if that is the sort of thing that interests you.
