Good point Mr Gump.
I read recently of an ubertrader who would take a chart and draw one line on it. That would set the direction of the trade, then he would use other indicators to pick entry and exit.
My technique is to look at a chart momentarily and if I can't see a trend in about .75 of a second it isn't there.
Of course I do have the advantage of being very dumb, a quality that is extremely useful when dealing with the markets.
