you mentioned in the "all you need" thread that trend is just an illusion. This is certainly an opinion that goes against conventional "wisdom" and I would be interested to learn more on your views of this topic.
There are many, many trend following strategies out there and I'm sure some of them are quite successful. I, like many traders I guess, have been taught to "trade with the trend". When a dominant uptrend (downtrend) is evident, the path of least resistance is up (down), so following the trend should provide you with an edge. Many traders use a higher timeframe to make the dominant trend easier to see.
I would be very interested to hear more of your thoughts regarding trends/trend trading and whether trends have any merit for a rat trader.
