Most currencies tend to trend.
Moving averages will tend to keep you in for the major part of the 
trend...if the trend is long enough.
Here is some code that I use to identify non trending periods
CondL=L==HHV(L,12);//Plot(L*CondL,"",2,2);
Plot(IIf(BarsSince(CondL)<=4,MA(L,5),-1e10),"",4,1);
CondH=H==LLV(H,12);//Plot(H*CondH,"",1,2);
Plot(IIf(BarsSince(CondH)<=4,MA(H,5),-1e10),"",5,1);
if you have both the MA plotted or there is no plot...you could 
consider it a non trending market.
Hope this helps.
