My thinking is that price and volume leads everything. People react to price. All eyes are on price, so perhaps it's best to find ways to directly analyze price. That's why I use candlesticks to gauge action near support and resistance. I have used many indicators, such as MACD, RSI, Momentum, etc. but they are all derivatives of price - mostly oscillators in fact, so they won't be best when the market is trending. As for options, I have traded OEX and equity options extensively in the past, but I have found that it's best to just trade the instrument itself so that I don't have to deal with things like VIX and decay. As for news hitting options first, I think there is a lot of software (OptionStation) and web based programs (QCharts comes to mind) that monitor and gives lists of unusual action, so that's one way to go...and as for arb, I guess it can be done, but I don't try it because I don't sit at the trading desk anymore and it's much more difficult to do it outside a brokerage firm, in my experience.
