    James, a related question is, Is there any way to know whether a prospective trade going to be following the trend or counter-trend based on your trend indicator(s) used by the system? For example, today's trade is still along the bullish trend.  If the trend changes tomorrow, there is a high chance that the new trend my last for some time, so reversing the position or at least hedging might be a profitable strategy. When a new trend is close to be exhausted, the hedge is removed for a profit, and the initial trade is still in play.

    All of the trades are reversion to mean trades except for the breakout long, which means that the vast majority are counter trend trades. The only really trend following stuff on the website is the KISS section, breakout longs, and updates from the newsletters. Steve and Matt do a pretty good job talking about where they think the market is trending at the moment.

    We've done a lot to reduce drawdown on the systems over the last 3 years to make them less painful, but they are still going to be buying when the market is selling, and selling when the market is buying.

    James, I am a bit unclear on this difference. My own definition of trending means that DMI indicator is above 25. The distinction between impulsive and corrective in EW speak is related but not exactly pertinent, as we have seen last month and this month (the price could be trending and still be corrective). The price above resistance or below support like on Friday or today is suggestive but not indicative either if the ATR is small. Any comments?
