You don’t need a trend to make money, as most swing traders who use

limit entries are taking positions anticipating a change of trend.


That doesn’t mean that they have taken the trade based on a trend.


A recent example.


Over the past 9 weeks the DOW has hit the 5-day highs 14 times.


That means that the daily trend has to be rising upwards into higher

points.


8 of those 14 times or 57%, price has reversed back into the 5-day 50%

level the same day or the next day.


To say “ without a trend in the direction of your trading you won’t profit” is simply ignorant of other pattern recognition methods.
