I suppose what would be, or what might be, wise is to incorporate two sets of signals......one for trend and one for trendless. I forget which work better for which because I have so many Indicators that it's hard to recall. But I'm certain that MAs are fine for trend. Trendless perhaps might be best read using BBs, Stos or maybe RSI. Can't say for certain. Trending markets are relatively easy so I use everything under the presumption that it won't trend, then if it trends I'm hardly disappointed. One solution may be to avoid Entry until your ema moves a fixed % away from the line. Just a thought. What I'm trying to drive at is to suggest that you avoid trendless markets by ensuring that you have a trend in place. I guess one method may be Atin's programme, which is Point and Figger. You won't get in at the bottom and out at the top but the trends are easy to see. I'll get you a link in a moment. EDIT Here is a link. Message 13294465 Only good if you use QuoteCom, however. If it's for the Futures market that is.
