The best answer so far! That's why traders are also called Timers (of Turns)!

When looking backwards after turning, we then know whether the previous move was a down trend, an up trend, a range bound, a flat market, etc. (in hindsight)

Remember folks, we are talking about the stock market only when I say statistical tests indicate no trends in markets---- currency and commodity markets do show trending tendencies. surf

Hey bro,

How is your luck holding out? You making money today? How about posting dated or otherwise confirmed P/L statements on a daily basis? You were happy to post the lucky FB trades, no sarcasm, i was impressed---- but one day means nothing. Maybe you are a market savant--- i really don't know--- how about showing me? Can you do it?
