Trend identification is always a major challenge before the trader in any time frame. then i worked with DMI. it is really an excellent indicator to indicate whether market is trending or non-trending. but it is a much lagging indicator, i used it 13,7 parameters. most of the times, by the time it shows a real good trend as per norms, the market has already moved far. often by the time dmi shows the real trend, market begins to go sideways or the trend begings to fade. one need to expertise on trend. with all this, i like dmi, since i know from dmi, when not to trade a trending strategy.
later i made an observation;
market goes sideways in lower time frame (say 15min) when ever there is a conflict of trend with higher time frame (say 60 min).
let me be more clear. if a higher timeframe is trending up wards (say 60 min) and lower timeframe is acting agains it (say 15 min time frame), the market results in a sidways movement in lower time frame. similarly, if both 15 min and 60 min are showing the same trend then only the market moves in good trend. so then i thought of getting both the trends in one time frame. we can do this only by using macd.
so i took macd(34,89,21) which is equivalent to short term trend indicator in 4 times higher timeframe. then i took the short term trend indicator for the current time frame, i.e. macd (8,17,9) or macd (12,26,9). i noticed that when ever these moving averages are conflicting the market goes sideways. and when ever they move in one direction sa up or down, the market is trending. further, the beginning of real trends can be captured earlier, compared to dmi. i keep dmi also, just for the sake of comparison.
i checked this for as large as 100 days data on nifty. good clues cand be drawn from this.
though i did not include it in my strategy, i am just working on it. so friends you can also post your openions on this.

Hi,
Good work indeed your thought process is very good in regard to use of MACD to find "true trend".
But if you can count and spot HIGHER LOWS in uptrend and LOWER HIGHS in down trend you would not require any indicator to identify the trend. PRICE is the best indicator.
Regards,

Sherbaaz Sir,
thank you very much for your encouragement. however, it is the basic method (HH and HL) and trend lines (which i regard equally well) - i follow for identification of trend. Now i am looking for any additional method that may give better clue than this. by the way, what do you mean by "count" in your reply. is it any method? can you please explain this?.
regards
padkondu
