#趋势交易策略 Trend Trading Practical Guide: The Path to Profits by Going with the Trend

1. Core Principles of the Strategy

Trend trading is based on the market principle of "the strong get stronger," capturing profits by identifying and following established price trends. This strategy is particularly suitable for:

Significantly trending market phases

Mainstream trading products (indices/forex/commodities)

Daily and higher time frames

2. Key Operational Framework

Trend Determination Criteria:

√ 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average (Golden Cross)

√ MACD histogram continues to expand

√ Price consistently makes new highs/lows

Precise Entry Strategy:

Trend retracement to key support/resistance levels

Short-term moving average (10-day) retraces to long-term moving average (50-day)

Use of RSI (40-60 range) to filter false signals

Position Management Rules:

■ Initial position ≤ 5% of total capital

■ Pyramid scaling after a 5% floating profit

■ Maximum position limit for a single product 15%

3. Intelligent Risk Control System

Dynamic Stop Loss Settings:

Fixed percentage stop loss (1-2% of account funds)

Technical level stop loss (previous low/high 1.5 times ATR)

Trailing stop loss (Chandelier Stop Loss Method)

Trend Following Take Profit:

◆ Moving average system take profit (breaks below the 10-day moving average)

◆ Exit upon trendline break

◆ Fibonacci extension levels for partial profit-taking

4. Practical Enhancement Techniques

Multi-Timeframe Verification:

Weekly direction confirmation

Daily opportunity spotting

4-hour chart for precise positioning

Volume-Price Coordination Analysis:

Moderate volume expansion during trends

Volume during breakouts ≥ 2 times the 20-day average volume

Volume shrinks to 50% of average volume during retracements
