market condition

What the market is doing right now, like moving steadily one way, moving sideways, being calm or being wild.

The fuller meaning

The current regime of price behaviour: trending or ranging, calm or volatile. Each tool works in some conditions and fails in others, trend tools in ranges and oscillators in strong trends, so backtests should cover different conditions, at least 30 to 50 trades as a first look.
