If the trend is the "Holy Grail" and "trading with the trend" is what every book and trading guru recommends. Then the question to be answered is

The trend is caused by Momentum. No Momentum = No Trend. I use three momentum indicators: (1) trendlines; (2) standard deviation channels; and (3) Twiggs Momentum which is a smoothed version of the standard Momentum oscillator.
