Bill,
 
I've never seen pivot points classified as a leading indicator so I didn't consider them in this vein.
 
I just disagree that volume/price coming together is a good leading indicator for price appreciation per my previous comments.  Just my opinion.
 
I agree it can be the "hear and now" as long as one recognizes a sell-off or down turn when they see one as the volume increases in the ratio while the price is decreasing in the ratio.
 
It's like A/D -- it can be a great hear and now providing you can get your head wrapped around the fact that an upward trend of the line does NOT mean automatically that price is increasing.  This is why A/D is hard for a lot of people to read successfully -- they are so accustomed to an upward turning line meaning price going up.

The volume traders that I know do not use volume increase/decrease in the "here and now" but rather relative to past volume/price values.  I have watch them and find that their S/R generated in that manner is better than usual pivot, etc. techniques.  However, when volume/price come together at those points they do act in the "here and now."

While on the subject of leading, don't EVER forget that increased volume many, many times means a lot more SELLING than BUYING -- that's why I prefer a leading indicator such as a Multiple Line Stochastic that works of price changes only -- volume can come back and bite you if you go only for an increase being a "good" thing.

Good point about momo indicators and divergence but it goes a bit farther.  The velocity of the momo gives a good heads up regarding price movement and acceleration of major reversals.  Not perfect by any means but very useful in one's bag of tricks.

Some "Lagging" indicators "Sometimes" display "Leading"
characteristics.

Any half decent momentum indicator may display divergence on a
double top/bottom for example.
If I receive an entry signal at such a time my trading plan forces me
to increase my initial position size and any subsequent
pyramiding - obviously a result of my belief that the indicator is
leading price at this time.

I also utilise an advance/deline indicator to fine tune entries.
Say I'm looking at a long position on a pullback trade.
I'm waiting for signs that the is about market to turn back up.
I may have two red candles, but my AD line may well turn
back up on the last or sometimes both days.
You'd better believe I'm loading up for big game (position size wize)
if, on the following day, price turns back up also.
IMO the AD line is leading price.

So "Leading" indicators?
Well no ....but sometimes yes.

Regds and good trading
Gerard

of your knowledge and experience, what are leading indicators
available for AB users (or at least faster that Heikin-Ashi) ?
Logically (for non-IT guy like me), the leading indicator must
contain price linear regression and volume components.
