[EquisMetaStock Group] Early trend stages

Greetings All,

By the time many of the more popular trend indicators kick in (moving 
averages of various flavors and combinations, the MACD, the ADX and even 
the PDI/MDI) the trend itself can often be nicely underway. This seems to 
apply especially when price action takes a sharp turn, as in a "V" bottom 
or an inverted "V" top. The numbers feeding into the calculation of the 
indicators cause a lag. Gradual changes in direction don't seem to pose a 
problem.

I'm not trying to call tops and bottoms, but even a minor jump on 
conventional trend indicators would be helpful. To date, my efforts to get 
a handle on the initial phase of trends after sharp market turns have not 
been rewarding. I can't seem to conceptualize it. Can anyone point me in 
the direction of published thoughts on how one could approach this kind of 
market action? Or, would you be willing to share some basic observations of 
your own? I can't imagine that this question hasn't occupied many traders 
at one time or another.

If I should simply "fugeddaboudit," well, that's a possibility too. I may 
be cross-posting this inquiry. My apologies in advance.
