Fundamentally, an indicator will only move after price has moved.
So Price first makes its move. Then the indicator will react and calculate its value according www.dailyniftytips.in to price actions only sure shotmove. tips..!
Price moves again, then the indicator takes what price did and calculates a new move. Do you see something wrong with this analogy?
The indicator is always following price. It never leads price, and it’s always behind price. It
only moves after price has moved. In essence indicators are always late.

How can a trader actually be successful using lagging indicators to trade? The answer is
they can’t. They are always late to enter, late to exit and get whipsawed around.
One thing is true, indicators never lead price. Price leads and the indicators follow. Here is a novel idea- why not trade using the price?
Let’s see what price does and trade off the PRICE ACTION itself.

But if we took a look at price action and recognized a pattern of 2 or 3 consecutive higher highs and higher lows, wouldn’t that demonstrate strength in the market regardless of where that technical indicator was plotted?
