the trading method i use trends can be noticed in any time frame.
an example, i noticed on the 3 hour chart a previous trend that is currently sideways. There was a long bearish candlestick which I would not have traded by my system.
But when I looked on the 30 minute chart that one long bearish candlestick on the 3 hour was a downtrend on the 30 minute chart.

i think one book defined a trend as when prices are making higher lows (uptrend) and a downtrend is when prices are making lower highs.

How can you tell when a trend is over? One is by knowing how to read candlesticks as well as utilizing various indicators. They each have a way of letting you know when a trend is possibly over. You can also zoom out and see if the trend is at the historical data for support / resistance.
