Trend trading and its advantages


Trading on a trend is the safest option on the market. After all, it is difficult to miss a
clear trend. However, despite the apparent simplicity, you need to know nuances to
get the most out of trend movement.

First, when is it the most suitable time to trade on the market? If the current trend
has been going on for over an hour, it will probably last for at least another 10
minutes, and you can take advantage of that by opening trades for 7-10 minutes.

Of course even if you think there is a clear trend on the market, you should use
trading instruments to confirm your forecast.

01
Candlesticks

What are Japanese candlesticks?

Japanese candlesticks are the most popular variation of price display on the chart.
They provide traders with extensive information about the price over a selected
period. Suppose you want to know what's happened to the price over the last 15
minutes. The candlestick will show you a list of characteristics: the maximum and
minimum price value for that period, the closing price, and the opening price.

02
Analyzing the market using candlesticks

Candlestick analysis includes plenty of different techniques. One of the most popular
is Price Action.

Price Action involves using special patterns that signal certain price behavior. There
are hundreds of such patterns but it is not necessary to study them all. You can limit
yourself to the most popular ones. For example, bullish and bearish engulfing.

Engulfing is a pair of candlesticks on the chart. The first candlestick continues the
previous trend and is the same color, while the second candlestick is the opposite
color. It will be the beginning of a new trend.

Bullish engulfing Bearish engulfing


The most important distinguishing However, it would be a mistake to be
feature of this pattern is that the body guided only by candlesticks and
of the second candlestick engulfs the candlestick patterns, especially when
body of the first. Hence, the name. The first starting out trading. Always use
presence or length of the shadows do additional indicators to refine your
not play a major role. forecasts.

03
Technical analysis. Indicators.

What indicators are there on the market?


There are different types of market indicators, and they are used in different ways to
analyze and predict price movement. There are two main groups of indicators: trend
indicators and oscillators.

Trend indicators are a mathematical average of the price. They can be used to
suggest future market trends. The main trend indicators are: Moving Average,
MACD, and Bollinger Bands.

The Moving Average is a line showing the average price for a certain period. With
its help, you can easily see the current trend.

The Moving Average (yellow line) shows an upward trend

04
The MACD reflects as a
histogram below the chart.
When it's bars are below the
zero line, the price falls.
When they are above the
zero line, the price rises.

The MACD bars go green as there is a boost in the market

Bollinger Bands consist of


three lines. The bands
reflect market volatility: the
more often the price
changes, the wider apart
they become. The flatter a
market is, the closer they
get to the central line.

Bollinger Bands get wider as a new trend begins

Oscillators are indicators which point out potential changes in trend. In addition,
oscillators usually let you know when the market is overbought or oversold, which
can indicate a trend reversal. Oscillators are usually located in a separate window
below the chart. There are plenty of oscillators, such as RSI or Stochastic.

05
An RSI oscillator shows
price action. When trading
on a trending market, you
usually set a value of 20 for
the oversold level and one
of 80 for the overbought
level. Usually, If the
indicator value crosses level
50, the trend changes.
Therefore, if you want to
ensure that the trend is
upward, but you have
doubts, wait until the RSI
crosses level 50 up.

RSI reached level 20 and bounced up from it

The opposite is when looking for a downward trend. Any doubts? Wait until the RSI
drops below level 50, and this moment will give you another argument that the trend
is downward.

Stochastic is another
example of oscillator.
Traders use it to generate
overbought and oversold
signals. Usually, readings
over 80 are considered
overbought, and readings
under 20 are considered
oversold. If the market is
oversold, we expect it to
rise in a short time.

If it is overbought, we
expect a drop soon.

Stochastic is deeply in the oversold zone and starts


changing trend’s direction

06
Trading strategies

In simple terms, a trading strategy is a set of tools and rules for


gaining profit from trading.

Trading strategies usually include the following:

Global analysis of the news that might influence the market;

Technical analysis using indicators and/or candlestick patterns;

Risk management: the limits for a trade amount and for losses.

Average 21 (red line)
upwards.

Risk management tips

You should think of your balance as a percentage.


Experienced traders don’t risk more than 10% of their balance: if you have $1,000 in
your account, your losses shouldn’t exceed $100. If you have $200, you shouldn’t
lose more than $20

The example: a trader who has $200 opens a trade for $10. That is only 5% of their
balance. But the trader who has $1,000 in their account does not look at any
percentages and makes a trade for, let's say, 50% of that amount: $500 in one go.
Which one of them is risking more? The answer is obvious.

From a trading point of view, a 5% or 10% loss is not that significant and cannot
harm your future trading opportunities. And that is the basis for choosing the
minimum deposit.
