momenTUm or Trend-FolloWing?
Technical indicators can be broken down into two broad categories:
Momentum oscillator types that attempt to spot market 
turns in the early stages and are typically based on a scale 
from 0 to 100. These indicators include stochastics, %R, 
relative strength index, rate of change, and a number of 
others.
Trend-following types that attempt to detect the trend and 
the strength or weakness of the trend. These indicators 
include moving averages, moving average convergence 
divergence (MACD), and directional movement index 
including the ADX indicator, which measures the trendi-
ness of a market. Moving average crossovers can also be

very useful in spotting market turns, as will be discussed 
later.
The momentum oscillators evaluate how current prices compare 
to previous prices and provide clues about overbought or oversold 
conditions that suggest a possible change in price direction. These 
indicators are most reliable in non-trending situations when prices are 
moving up and down. However, in trending situations, these indicators 
may give a buy or sell signal early in the move and then just remain 
stuck on that signal as long as the trend continues.
Look at the euro chart with the stochastics indicator as an example of 
this problem (Figure 4.4). A downside crossover of the two stochastics 
lines above a reading of 80 indicates sell, and an upside crossover
