For my approach and style of trading the lag doesn't matter. I don't trade off a fractal right after it paints. It's used as a point of reference later.

I couldn't agree with TRO more. You're gonna have losers. Don't try and decide which ones will work. Just pick your edge, manage your risk and trade your plan.
