Mark:

You have really caught my attention with your reply about systems that are
written to trade agaisnt the trend and their ability to analyze the probability
of a reversal working. I'd like to hear more about what types of 'systems' and
indicators you can use when building a system to trade against the trend and how
you can tie in velocity and acceleration. 

I know what's it like intuitively, and you're right: You have to really be in
tune with a market and yourself to stop and reverse and recapture the capital
from those losers on a regular basis. I'd love to hear even a little about what
types of things a system 'looks' at to do this.

Best,
