かなり聞かれる質問が関係しています。 “遅行指標”. Many traders will deride them and are hesitant to use them since they lag the market to a greater or lesser degree. Their argument is that many pips can be left behind since the initial part of the move has occurred before the entry signal is generated.
While that is an accurate statement, let’s take a look at what comprises the signal that an indicator generates. Regardless of which indicator a trader uses, RSI, MACD, ストキャスティックス, CCI, など。, each indicator is based on an average of the price action that has already taken place. With that being the case, it is impossible for an indicator to provide split second, turn on a dime signals based on an immediate move that a currency pair has made.
と, 信じられない, I believe that is a very good thing.
While no one likes to leave “pips on the table” so to speak, think of it this way…
What you are forgoing by missing the initial move, you make up for by entering a trade that has a greater amount of confirmation behind it. If we are looking to enter a trade at the very first sign that a move may be taking place, we are going to find ourselves entering trades based on very short term signals – すなわち, little or no confirmation. その結果, we will be basing our trades on what ultimately can turn out to be a “false entry” 信号.
People will rarely (if ever) buy a house based solely on what it looks like from the curb…or buy a car only because the driver’s seat feels comfortable…or propose marriage to someone during a first date. We want and deserve some confirmation that there is more to the house than only curb appeal…more to the car than just a comfy seat…and more to our partner than what we learned over a few hours.
So too, we should not jump headlong into a trade based on virtually zero confirmation.
Let’s take a look at a historical Daily chart of the EURCHF currency pair below…
If we enter this trade at the point where the MACD line (赤) crosses the Signal line (ブルー), we forgo the profit between point A and point B on the chart – 約 280 ピップ. This is due to the “lag” of the MACD indicator as it is calculating the price action that has taken place over the last several days. Had we entered the trade short as soon as price began to move down from the high, we would have entered on a bearish move but with virtually no confirmation – we would have bought the house without stepping inside.
しかし, if we wait for the signal to enter this trade until the move is confirmed by MACD, we set ourselves up for a higher probability trade based on our lagging indicator.
Could this trade turned out to be a loser even with the confirming signal? 確認して…no doubt about it. But the point is that by waiting we are putting 確率 more on our side – we have more of an “エッジ” 貿易の.
In the case of this particular trade, we ultimately book the profit between point B and point C which is just shy of 1000 ピップ.
As can be seen from this example, it is possible to have a highly successful trade even though a trader is not capturing the initial pips in a move.
All things considered, I would rather enter a trade late and be right than enter early and be wrong.

Thanks CP!

I share the same sentiments Richard.
Honestly why buy a house before checking it out.
Trading is about managing probabilities. A trader who wishes to collect all pips is a greedy trader and the market will humble him/her one day

Well said, クバヤ!

Thanks Kebaya! まさに – trading is about probabilities and doing what we can to skew them in our favor. Trading with the trend, buy dips in an uptrend and sell rallies in a downtrend all help to tip the scales a bit in our favor.

What’s more, with some skill, some indicators can be set up to correlate with each other so as to create predictive signals.See where you are driving, the corners coming, as well as where you’ve been too. Many talk lagging as a downside, but if you think about it, predictive signals pre-warn of a directional change, but unless there is more to it than that, there is little idea of when the direct will change timing wise. 例えば. the predictive signal reports “購入します。”, but the price keeps going down. Its predictive!! But will you prepare to buy and wait for confirmation, or wait for the lag?

Great point, ロブ. I really like the analogy of anticipating the corners while you’re driving.
