#TrendTradingStrategy

Trend trading is a momentum-based strategy where traders aim to profit by aligning their trades with the prevailing direction of the market.

The core idea is simple: "the trend is your friend."

Traders identify trends using various tools like moving averages, trendlines, and technical indicators such as the Average Directional Index (ADX).

Once a trend is established—either an uptrend (higher highs and higher lows) or a downtrend (lower highs and lower lows)—traders enter positions in the direction of that trend.

For example, in an uptrend, they'd buy, expecting prices to continue rising.

Risk management is crucial, with stop-loss orders placed to limit potential losses if the trend reverses.

Trend traders often hold positions for weeks or months, capitalizing on longer-term price movements.

While potentially profitable, it requires patience and discipline to ride out minor corrections against the main trend.
