Make sizzling profits from Forex, Trading with TREND

The TREND is your friend; trade against the trend at your own peril.

If you want to make money in forex trading, you must have a good understanding of  the TREND otherwise you are not going to make any head way. If you were swimming in the river you would know that it is much easier to swim with the current than to swim against the current. Regardless of how long term market trend is, the market never moves only in the direction of the trend, there are always minor movements against the major market trend. These deviations usually don’t last very long and after that time the market moves again in the direction of the long-term trend. However it is those minor movements that will produce losing trades.

What is a Trend?

A trend is the direction of movement of the market. It could be an upward (Rising) trend or downward (falling) trend. There are different ways of determining the major trend of a forex market. Here we shall deal with Lower Lows/Lower Highs for a downward trend and Higher Highs/Higher Lows for and upward trend.

Lower Lows and Lower Highs (Downward Trend)

In using this technique to determine whether the forex market is in a downward trend we use the Highs and Lows of the famous candle sticks. Every new low is lower than the previous low. Likewise every new high is lower than the previous high.

The setup:

There are series of candles moving downward.

After hitting a low L1 it reverses.

Rises upward with series of candles but not up to the previous high H1 and reverses again and moves downward.

Downward movement continues falling below L1, thus forming a new low L2.

The market rises again and reaching a high H2, lower than H1 and then falls again to a new low L3 . This is a picture of lower lows/lower highs (downward trend).

In a downward trend you only look forward to selling (the trend is your friend)

Higher Highs and Higher Lows (Upward Trend)

In using this technique to determine whether the forex market is in an upward trend we use the highs and lows of the famous candle sticks. Every new high is higher than the previous high. In like manner every new low is higher than the previous low.

The setup:

There are series of candles moving upward

After hitting a high H1 it reverses.

Falls down with series of candles gets to a low L1 and reverses and begins an upward moves again with series of candles and reaching a new high H2 higher than H1, then reverses, moves in the opposite direction and gets to a low L2 higher than L1.
