Cool! Thanks for your comment, and for posting that link!
Maybe I should be referring to MACD histogram rather than MACD... Anyway, whatever it should be called, it's what I use, along with EMA switch overs :)
But, yes , anything based on an average of recent prices will lag...but then that's the point. Either way, those are the two indicators I use. I've a heard a lot about RSI, but I can't ever say I have found it useful (although perhaps I didn't take time to try to understand it!)
