“All indicators are lagging. Only price and volume are not lagging” :)
Interesting, how is the price and volume not lagging — when we look at the candle, bar or some other method of averaged price representation, we see that, what ALREADY WAS, and this is the meaning of the delay.
And why are the indicators lagging behind?? It may mean that the computer is slow, slows down, freezes and with a delay draws indicators in the technical analysis program? Here's an example, how can a Simple Moving Average with a period lag 10 Bars? By idea, as soon as the graph appears 10 Bars, the first point of the Moving Average should appear instantly.
Another thing, that some do not know what this or that indicator is for. well, here, for example, Moving Average with a period 10 shows the average price for 10 bars and she shows it for sure, no lag, if a, certainly, the computer does not slow down. How to use it, that's another question. For example, student passes 10 exams, every day for the exam. How to determine based on its results, he deserves a scholarship for the next six months, or not? This is where the moving average with a period comes in handy. 10, which will average his grades and show the average score for 10 exams. Was the indicator late in this case? :)
If examiners believe that the timing of exam passing over time is important, that is, the last exams are given more weight than the first, i.e, Sort of, student swings first, and then, already in the last exams, his true abilities and diligence are manifested, then in this case, better to use Exponential Moving Average, which has more weight on the last values…..
All in all, indicators on modern computers, practically do not be late. If only for microseconds, required for counting. :)
