The eternal Holy Grail question: when a trending system should be
turned off and a support-resistance system turned on. If there was a
straight and simple answer, no-one would know where to put all that
money they make in the markets.

You *have* to use some kind of adaptive indicator and more complex
math here. There's this Adaptive Noise indicator available on
traders2traders, you may want to start playing around with that.
