Okay...

I think the last sentence in that post was related to me....being the master of complications..lol..fair enough...all preconceived notions are out..blank sheet for optimal objectivity

Keeeeep it simple and focused ..

Lets go: the Quest of the Trend

2 hands 2 feet

Price, grail averages, trend and momentum..*there is volume as well in cash markets) so how do you place that on the 2 hands 2 feet..or the four corners (or four stones lol)also you cannot get volume in currencies if you are trading currency futures in addition to cash...so what is the substitute for non NY cash hours..(london hours mainly cause Asia hours is useless imo?

Price: 1 MA moving on the other side of the 3 EMA, then 3 crossing five...alternatively...or another way to state that..is when price as demonstrated by the moving average of 1 stops making lower lows=downdraft is finished.. and starts to make a higher high and the first higher low=trigger.or retest...but this part really comes with experience..or the 10,000 hours level for you and I...not the beginner trader..so we know we can spot that...( we don"t think we know that one ....we know: we know that one, to use your words.

trend, trendlines=very important on a CCI or better on price itself..

BB width: Have done a lot of work with that in the past..no real outcome so far..unless you have specific parameters we can work on...

is momentum and volatility the same ?..not if you define momentum as the speed or velocity of a change in price in a certain direction..or delta price.....cause there is volatility sideways...(no trend...just moving sideways and the aberages keep criss crossing making everybody crazy.

Market structure...trend ...sideways...trend...etc..prediction of sideways versus trend lies with momentum I believe...how do we crack that we BB with - standard deviation indicator maybe...maybe or help..

there is volume, mass material......E=MC2...etc

I see you are using the 20/60 charts a lot when you talk about trend...we both have worked with those in the past..and the 60 average is your trend...should you choose to accept that..

we need charts...what do you want to start with...I can play and structure indicators like second nature I guess....what do you want to start with...?

and the quest goes on..
