I assume you trade intraday, are you looking for intraday trends? or are you looking for more macro trending (dailycharts) stocks, then making decisions off them?

THe reason I ask is that often, it seems that once a trend gets established intraday, the move has been made, the stock usually flatlines or even retraces slowly as it loses momentum.

THe one thing I don't like about stocks is the whole gapping issue.. It makes taking advantage of intraday moves much more difficult, b/c a stock can move +/- a decent % opver the course of 3 days, but a lot of that move gets priced in b/w the close and next days open, making it untradeable unless you want to assume overnight risk..

That alone makes me think about giving up equities.
