#TrendTradingStrategy A trend trading strategy is designed to identify and ride sustained price movements—uptrends or downtrends—typically using momentum, price structure, and confirmation tools.

if you're using the 1-hour timeframe, here’s a highly practical trend trading strategy tailored for that setup:

📈 1-Hour Trend Trading Strategy (Crypto Focus)

✅ Core Idea

> “Trade in the direction of the dominant trend, enter on pullbacks, and ride momentum until signs of exhaustion.”

---

🔧 Strategy Components

1. Trend Identification

Use a combination of price structure and moving averages.

Structure Rule: Higher highs + higher lows = uptrend

MAs:

EMA 20 (short-term momentum)

EMA 50 (trend filter)

📌 Rule: Only take long trades when price is above both EMAs and EMAs are sloping upward.

---

2. Entry Trigger: Pullback + Confirmation

Wait for a pullback to dynamic support (EMA 20 or 50) with confirmation:

Bullish Setup Example:

Price pulls back to EMA zone

RSI dips below 50, then crosses back up

Bullish engulfing candle or pin bar at EMA

Volume spikes or OBV divergence

🔁 Same logic reversed for shorts in downtrends.

---

3. Stop Loss & Take Profit

SL: Below the recent swing low (or ATR * 1.5)

TP Options:

2R–3R fixed risk/reward

Exit on close below EMA 20 (trailing stop)

Partial take profit at 1.5R and let the rest ride

---

4. Risk Management

Risk 1% per trade

Never increase position size to chase drawdowns

Only trade when all conditions align (avoid sideways market)

---

🧪 Example Setup Flow

1. ✅ Price above 20/50 EMA

2. ✅ Pullback into EMA 20/50 zone

3. ✅ RSI dips below 50 then crosses up

4. ✅ Bullish engulfing candle

5. ✅ Entry on next candle open

6. ✅ SL below pullback low, TP at 2R or trail
