Just looking for a little advice and thoughts, I trade the future index's and I look for there things when I'm trading trend, timing, and momentum. I'm pretty good at determining a trend and timing but fall short with the momentum part. What I mean by this is sometimes when the markets go horizontal (flat or some same say low volume), my trades don't work out. The reason seems to be because there's not enough price change to carry thru on the trend. I have started to look at a few things to try to correct this. One is to apply a form of bands or channels (such as boiler bands or Dr. Elder's auto envelope). Then I wait for the price to break out above or below these indicators – by waiting for this it seems to show a possible breakout in that direction. What do you think of that? Is there a different indicator I might look at to determine this concept?Second I'm thinking about looking a volume but I'm not sure what evaluate in this area. Any ideas so get me started on how to use volume to determine momentum within the market?I'm not asking any one to give me all there trade secrets and an easy answer to my question. I enjoy the research to learn how the values work and how the markets work. Maybe I'm completely off when I think that volume and some type out breakout indicators could determine momentum but hopefully it will improve my trading and it just might be worth looking into, so hopefully someone can offer me some indicators to look at or a book / web article to read.I could also post a jpeg if my question is not a clear as it should be.
