Trend trading is a strategy that involves identifying the direction of the market — uptrend, downtrend, or sideways — and making trades that align with that direction. The idea is simple: "Trade with the trend."
🔍 Key Elements of Trend Trading:
1. Identify the Trend
Uptrend: Higher highs and higher lows (bullish)
Downtrend: Lower highs and lower lows (bearish)
Tools to help:
Moving Averages (MA)
Trendlines
Price Action
ADX (Average Directional Index)
2. Enter the Trade
Entry Strategies:
Breakout of key resistance/support
Pullback to trendline or moving average
Candlestick patterns (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer)
3. Manage the Trade
Use stop-losses below support or above resistance
Use trailing stops to lock in profits as the trend continues
Risk management: never risk more than 1-2% of capital per trade
4. Exit the Trade
Exit when:
Trend shows signs of reversal
Price hits your target
Moving averages cross in the opposite direction
🔧 Common Indicators Used:
Moving Averages (SMA/EMA)
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
RSI (Relative Strength Index) — to avoid overbought/oversold conditions
ADX — to measure the strength of a trend
