Despite my obvious bias towards the use of the "old indicators" as Brent
quite rightly calls them I must say that what Simon Trevor says is very
valid and hence why I was saying on my earlier post that those traders who
are using these averages and indicators and oscillators etc must remember
that they have to somehow come closer to the price by filtering the
indicators' signals with some 'basic' entry/exit tool preferably based on
the OHLC data.
Sorry to labour this point as I'm sure it's nothing new to most of you.

I don't agree that these are the basics. The basics consist of the price
itself. Formula's (indicators) such as the ones mentioned are only
derivatives from the price and hence cannot be relied upon as much as the
price itself. Just follow the price.
