One matter I have been pondering is doing away with the MA lines completely; and doing HH, HL, LH, LL analysis to determine trends instead.
I would appreciate your feedback on this idea.
With recent volatility, I think that the lagging nature of MA is exacerbated, and I am wondering if this is making them worse than useless.
I would appreciate your feedback on this idea.
I think that reliance on MA lines for trend analysis lead me to making wrong conclusions, which I would not have made in their absence.

Good to see you asking questions. With regard to MA's, earlier in the thread there is a number of posts where Strat explains the MA's in more detail, there are questions relating to the moving averages that need to be answered which will give you some indication of price/trend direction. The questions relate to slope of MA, increasing differential, price between 20/50, MA's embracing ect. And especially he urges to study what the price is doing when in the vicinity of MA, just like the vicinity of SR, as one must not forget that the MA's do act as a SR.
Happy tradinghttp://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
