Ride the Wave: Five Pivotal Events in Every Trend Following Strategy

Did you know trend trading does not require fundamental analysis and news? Because all the information is always reflected in the price. Secondly, fundamental analysis is only good for the selection of the coin. When you have identified the coin and viewed the growth, determine the good physique, or popularity, of the coin; the remaining is to follow the trend. In addition, some trends have exceeded the average level of popularity because the market always gives importance to one or two concepts every year.

Trend Identification

It is very important for successful trading; you must identify the trend during its initial 20% momentum. You have to make sure to only participate in a trend when it starts or reaches its 20% level. Never join in the middle or in the last. The best time to join the trend is when other traders are still not able to identify the trend.

Life of trend

Every trend has its life cycle. You need to make sure to join a trend during its initial stage. The late stages always look lucrative but become a disaster for many traders.

Holding your position in a trend

Holding your position from start to end is important to make money; it’s your big mistake to release your position during the trend development.

Stop loss and take a profit.

Just like holding a position during trend development is necessary, you also need to set up your stop loss and take profit positions. Many possibilities always exist, such as a false trend, a short trend, or shocking news, all of which cause big trouble. So set up your entry or exit conditions to avoid difficult situations.

Increasing your position

You need to make a more stable position for the strong trend. If you have found the trend and if it continues to go upward, you should gradually add to your position and increase your profit potential. It is always better to have a profitable position in a strong trend and a losing position when it is a short-term trend.

The above five methods are the recipe for trend trading. But in trading, there is no fixed rule; you can use your imagination, experience, and wisdom and develop strategies to trade in the trends. Successful traders always developed their methods to solve the most complicated problems, and this will be known as personal style trading.
