Hi Dingo,

Trending: Successively higher highs, and higher lows
          withing the selected study timeframe.
Trending: Approximately* similar highs and lows repeating
          withing the selected study timeframe.
          (*-Approximately can be a filter range and does
             not have to be an exact value)
