TK....I think the best approach is a combination of instruments...patterns and studies.....studies tend to be more concrete in terms of 'flashing a signal'...while chart patterns show visually what one may think...
There is no one method that will provide a 'magic answer'....
however whether you use chart, studies, data events to enter/exit trades is all about risk management, since that is the tool to keep one in the game until their precise method falls into favor......

Farnham and Spotforex. Thanks vm for the answers. Appreciate it. Do you use some kind of indicators,such as MA, MACD, RSI, Stochs etc.? Do these need be way in the overbought/oversold areas for the mkt to be called trending? And if these are in the mid range, then can we say that the mkt is ranging? TIA

Not at all a stupid question...very important... and without rambling on all I can say is that in order to spot a trend formation is what brings in big profits and is very difficult without 20/20 hindsight vision..

Boston 23:16 / you need to study and get familiar with the concept and mechanics of "short", be it in equities or on the spot market. You ll probably note that the "shorters" (sometimes condescendingly and oxymorinicaly refered to as "short sellers") are definetely an unwelcome crowd in equities markets. Unlike on FX market where everyone who is a buyer of something is necessarily a seller of something else. Every time they take on a trade transaction.

Not a 'stupid question'...but perhaps the most important one to ask......
all sorts of tools/patterns out there to confirm trends, end of trends......but hindsight is the best analysis......
It is the question that margin calls are based upon.......

Was that a really stupid question? Since the rules are different when the Mkt is ranging vs. when the mkt is trending, I thought it was a fair question. Anyone with any clues will be highly appreciated. TIA

SS.....this is one area that I don't wish to go farther in GV forums. There are many and I do not have experience with any of them in that capacity so will just tell you that Jay would be a good guy to ask. Just re,member what JF said......make sure they are NFA and CFTC regulated. If you visit enough brokers sites you will stumble accross it, often called "Facilitated Trading" etc.........
good luck with it and let us know how it works out.
