Yes. Its the indicator that only allows you to trade when you have withdrawed all funds from your account.

Justin, just use S/R and supply/demand!! Simple. All you need is to draw a few horizontal lines!

Trends can end in a climax in your direction, or they can fizzle out slowly, or they can collapse violently taking back a lot of profit. Needless to say, markets can do anything and are beyond second guessing.

yeah true but that's kind of a big problem it's almost like saying there's no point trading then. Just looking if anyone has any recommendations they work with or how they work with this problem. Never know if ya don't ask some people may have an intricate way of dealing with it or some indicator never know

Well, if someone gave a different answer how would you know which is correct? What makes you think that I am even correct or trustworthy?

Another possibility would be maybe using an adr indicator to avoid a day when the market has reached an extreme?

An indicator is only as good as its settings. If you do not know what to measure, then you cannot program an indicator. Figure out what condition of the market you want to identify, and then find the indicator that shows it.
You cannot be extraordinary by being normal

Fair enough, but im still curious as to how you would judge the helpfulness of a response given that you don't seem to understand the subject very well.

Someone with a silver tongue could easily convince someone like you that he possesses an indicator that detects the end of every trend and he can share it with you for a fee.

No problem. Read my thread and it could help you understand a bit more. You should be aware that most FF members have no clue about indicators, so they assume they are bad, and like to voice their uneducated opinions as if they were facts. The majority of traders draw art projects on their charts and talk about yesterday as if they earned money today. So, just be aware. Not sure how to get rid of them, other than just ignore them.
