Trend Trading Strategy: Riding the Market's Wave

The Trend Trading strategy focuses on identifying and following the direction of an already established price trend. Unlike seeking the explosive start of a movement, trend traders prefer to "surf the wave" of a sustained movement, whether bullish or bearish, to capture profits as the trend unfolds. The premise is simple: an existing trend is more likely to continue than to reverse abruptly.

To apply this strategy, one must first confirm the existence and direction of the trend. This is achieved with technical analysis tools such as moving averages (if the price is consistently above an upward moving average, it is bullish) or trend lines (connecting higher lows or lower highs).

Entry points are typically sought during temporary pullbacks within the trend. For example, in a bullish trend, a slight drop towards a support level (such as a trend line or moving average) is expected to buy. Risk management is vital: a stop-loss is strategically placed (below the recent low in a bullish trend) to limit losses if the trend changes. Exit is defined when the trend shows signs of exhaustion or reversal.

Although it is a more measured strategy than day trading, it requires patience and discipline to adhere to the plan. It is not suitable for markets without a clear direction (ranges), but it can generate substantial profits by capitalizing on prolonged directional market movements.
