Oh, and yet another question from me. As I understand the cornerstone of most trading systems is the assumption that markets trend. Are you aware of any scientific research proving that markets actually do trend? I am not trying to state they are not, just want to dig a little bit deeper in the underlying theory. Can you please point into the direction where I can find something worth reading on this question?

If you're looking to see what the average financial academic says about trading and investing, here's a place to start:

Read A Random Walk Down Wall Street
Learn the different forms of market efficiency
Balance market efficiency with behavioral finance

Once you've read/studied the above, you'll have a pretty good grasp of where the typical academic stands.
