What is the difference between “real trends” and random price fluctuations?
The difference is anyway determined in hindsight. Trading with the trend is touted without anyone completely explaining how to go about capturing it. Trends exist in all time frames & I for one believe a "part of the trend" can be exploited but not the full trend. What traders fail to realise is that for a trend to continue it needs momentum once the movement has started. (That should be rule #1)

I try hard to promote new ideas
Exploiting a trend is becoming harder & harder to do these days because we all try to buy as close to the start of a trend & selling once the momentum has ended. The problem is that we all assume that the trend begins at the bottom of a price curve & ends at a peak, unfortunately capturing that "description of a trend" is just not possible.

The brilliance of John Ehlers shouldn't be underestimated
This mathematician explains his methodology in plain English. (Even his code is supplied). His main concern is establishing a trend & then refining the entry to grab an advantage over most other traders. I believe my previous post about the "Voss Predictor" fell on deaf ears just as my posts on the DSMA Indicator back some time ago. Both indicators are worthy of a second & third look.
