#TrendTradingStrategy
1 Identify the Trend
Use higher timeframes first:
• 4H and 1D charts for the main trend direction
• 15m–1H for entries within that trend
Tools to identify trend:
• EMA 50 / EMA 200
• Uptrend = Price above EMA 50 and EMA 50 above EMA 200
• Downtrend = Price below EMA 50 and EMA 50 below EMA 200
• ADX (Average Directional Index)
• ADX > 25 = strong trend
• ADX < 20 = weak/no trend
Optional: Use Trendlines or Market Structure (higher highs, higher lows / lower highs, lower lows)
2 Wait for Pullbacks
Never chase the top of a trend.
Wait for price to pull back to:
• EMA 50 (for strong trends)
• EMA 200 (for deeper pullbacks)
Or into a support/resistance zone
Confirm pullback with:
• RSI dipping to 40–50 in uptrend
• RSI rising to 50–60 in downtrend
3. Enter on Pullback Bounce
When price respects the EMA / support zone and starts bouncing:
• Enter long (in uptrend) on bullish candle close
• Enter short (in downtrend) on bearish candle close
Bonus: Enter at break of a minor counter-trendline within the pullback.
4. Stop-Loss Placement
• Below last swing low (uptrend)
• Above last swing high (downtrend)
Tight but safe:
• BTC: 0.8–1.5%
• Alts: 1.5–3%
5. Target Profit Levels
Use:
• Recent high/low
• Fib retracement / extension levels (e.g. 1.618 Fib extension)
• Or trail stop-loss as price continues in trend
Minimum Risk/Reward ratio: 1:2
