A leading indicator gives a signal before the new trend or reversal occurs.You're probably thinking, "Ooooh, I'm going to get rich with leading indicators!" since you would be able to profit from a new trend right at the start.You're right.
You would "catch" the entire trend every single time, IF the leading indicator was correct every single time. But it won't be.
When you use leading indicators, you will experience a lot of fakeouts. Leading indicators are notorious for giving bogus signals which could "mislead" you.
Haha. Man we're so funny we even crack ourselves up.
