The classic defination of Trend by (the father of Technical Analysis) Charles Dow: "trend is a directed movement of prices, where every next following maximum is higher/lower as compared with the previous one and every subsequent minimum is higher/lower as compared with the previous one"
(Wikipedia defination) A market trend is a putative tendency of a financial market to move in a particular direction over time.These trends are classified as secular trends for long time frames, primary trends for medium time frames, and secondary trends lasting short times.

DislikedA lot of people are coming out with different methods of trading Ichimoku and when they lose money they start asking stupid questions, Ichimoku is simple and very straight forward like the Moving Average dead cross(TS/KS cross below Kumo) and golden cross(TS/KS cross above Kumo), it will always work well when there is a trend( as with any thing that has to do with MAs ie Guppy, HMA etc) but will malfuction in trendless scenarios, some traders though can still use the principles of Ichimoku to scalp in rangeboud markets and will be succesful if they...Ignored
