Thomas,
True, they are all trend indicators. The problem that I see is that trends only occur 30% of the time. The other 70% is a matter of waiting until a trend begins if you are a trend rider.
The latest craze is using multiple timeframes. This at least helps to identify potential candidates early enough so that you are ready when the trend does begin.
