 What-O Chaps and Chappeses
 
 Question:  "Except for price action, don't all indicators lag?"   How ever
 many cross-overs of how ever many moving averages, or how ever many
 oscilators cut the overbought/oversold lines, the fact remains that they all
 lag!

Bill and RTs,
I have heard of the term "leading indicators" before.
So is there not such a thing?
Could someone give me examples of "leading indicators" if they exist?
And how they can be used?
