Type of indicators

 

Hi all,

I have read many threads and posts about EAs and indicators. Their functions and features were discussed and enhanced. Now that I just wonder how many people are really understand especially the type of indicators and their purpose. I feel that lot of people are just simply used it when new or existing strategies are propsed with the given indicators.

My main concern is how many of you know whether know the indicator is belong to lagging indicator or leading indicator. Hence let help to list out those indicators with their type and functionally if possible.

Let me start first with my basic knowledge of indicators, the lagging indicators so far I know of is MA, EMA, RSI and Stochastic. But I have yet to know any leading indicator. Please help to list out all the indicators ( including customed indicators ) so that many member can use them wisely. Thanks.
