[RT] How can I enter a trend?

["Sean Cassidy" <scassidy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have some software that is pretty good at identifying trends and their reversals. It is very similar to ASCTrend but not that. It paints dots above a downtrend or below an uptrend. It is a bit self fulfilling in that it puts the last bars dot, think of that as a stop, in its final place after the bar is completed. The way I have been using this is to let the market establish a trend for a while, usually 15 minutes or so, and then place a sell at the stop dot and  allow a 2 point stop. In paper trading and visual inspection this has worked very well. Problem is in actual trades, it is difficult to execute because you are to a certain extent, limited to the trend made by the previous bar, not the one currently being painted. I want to look at it in multiple time frames but was hoping to get some other suggestions as to how to enter. The following is an example chart. The bar at 1030 is a good example of this. Am i forcing things or does this work on a 2 point stop. It certainly has worked on paper trading, but......doesnt everything?
