I have my own method for identifying the trend that works very well but I'm, of course, not at liberty to discuss. So it can be done...hint: start with the most elementary definition of a trend and work your way in that direction (and no I'm not talking higher highs and higher lows or any of that Al Brooks garbage). Why does it work? think along these lines for the answer.... my post from another thread....
Guys, there's this thing that works. I know it works because I do it. Of course, I can't tell you how to do it. But it works. Trust me. Like I said, guys. Just trust me. I'm not going to tell you anything but it's possible. Yeah. And not even the smartest people in the world have figured it out yet. But I have. Study hard, grasshopper.
I pointed you in the right direction...now you need to get off your lazy ass and go figure it out btw...the reason why I won't spoon feed you the answers is because you and I are competing against one another
