{quote} I don't think it's possible to detect trends as soon as they begin, because price can go in the other direction any moment...how do you know it's the reversal time ? there is no way to know. Also to detect a trend you need some kind of reversal, at least one bar, otherwise how can you know it's reversing ? it can continue in the same direction if there is no reversal. So one bar reversal can signal the beginning of a trend, but the price can also revert one bar, and then go back in the wrong direction. Only thing you can do is minimize the...
I haven't the knowledge to tell you surely when a trend or range may start or finish but i can tell you that there are some points in which is more probable to happen. It's difficult to spot this points because it's very complex to do various types of analysis at the same time and still make a sense of the combination, but they surely exist, so it's not unachievable. A simple idea is as I said before look at bigger timeframes; let's say that you are in a M5 chart and you want to see possible levels in which price can form a range; so go for example to H1 and try to detect possible supports/resistances. Imagine that price goes there and touches it, even if it only retrace (or simply stays there) for one single bar in H1, you could anticipate a range for at least 12 bars in M5. For me identifying trends is more difficult, but usually the longer the range the bigger the next trend.

Absolutely, understanding the precise start or end of a trend or range can be challenging, but there are certain key points that might offer clues. It involves a bit of complexity, trying to juggle various analyses simultaneously, but it's not an impossible feat. One straightforward approach is, as you mentioned, looking at larger timeframes. For instance, if you're on an M5 chart, check out the H1 chart to spot potential support/resistance levels. Even if the price just touches or briefly retraces there for a single H1 bar, it could hint at a range lasting at least 12 bars in M5. Identifying trends may be trickier, but generally, the longer the range, the more significant the subsequent trend could be. It's a nuanced process, but with practice, these insights can become more intuitive.
