Re: Indicator lag

i use both momentum and acceleration together in my trading
models/system/methodology.  acceleration helps define those times when
price turns quickly while momentum "lags." i use both on short tick
bars, such as 3 to 11 ticks, depending on market volatility. more
volatile, then migrate toward the shorter tick bars.

in combination with the other stuff i use, momentum and acceleration
are great for anticipating price reversals. but the holy grail?  nope,
gotta look elsewhere.

thanks, bob, for the code.  i'll take a look at it this weekend
between football games.
