Lagging Indicator

What Does Lagging Indicator Mean?

1. A measurable economic factor that changes after the economy has already begun to follow a particular pattern or trend.

2. A technical indicator that trails the price action of an underlying asset, and is used by traders to generate transaction signals or to confirm the strength of a given trend. Since these indicators lag the price of the asset, a significant move will generally occur before the indicator is able to provide a signal.
