Hi Wayne,
Your statement "Riding a trend for 3 months or longer does not match my trading style. I'm really only interested in the very short term trend, because I want to get in and get out with a small profit in a very short period of time. I want to trade the trend is what I'm saying." is key.

Two points:
1.Yes the trend can be short, intermediate, or long and you trade the one that fits you. I prefer intermediate to long. Possibly very long. So if you are using the short term trend indicators (days to a week or two) I would agree that longer term trend indicators will fall short in getting you out or back in.

2.Can't and wouldn't argue with you about what trend to trade because you are you and I am I and we should do what fits ourselves, but when and if you find a short term system that can make money like a good intermediate one like "Dahls' primary trend" I sure hope you post it here so I can see it. I've been looking for quite awhile for the above or a short termer I could put inside Dahl or something like it. I would really like to be able to test it and then discuss the outcomes with you.

David
