<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.> That is a great idea. I am sure that I will get to a system like that before too long. <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. > Very cool:) <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. > That sounds like the best solution for me right now as I already have the systems to take advantage of it. It is hard to have the patience to wait for a good entry. LOL Thanks for the reply, Bob
