One of the best swing trading strategies is to ride a trend. Trading trends tends to be more profitable as compared to trading ranges. The beauty of trend trading lies in the fact that you don't need to manage the trade a lot. In an uptrend the currency pair or the security price will continue to rise.

Entering a trend early in the first few days allows you to enter when the risk is lowest. Entering a trend when it is already weeks or months old raises the chance of your getting on when you should have been getting off. The difficulty in trend trading lies in identifying when a trend has started and knowing when to get off quickly when the trend is over.

So the biggest risk for a trader engaged in swing trading trend lies in the possibility of entering a trend when it is just about to end. Someone has described this phenomenon of entering late in the trend as like a dog chasing speeding cars. It may be fun for sometimes but eventually the dog will get run over by a speeding car.

You need to learn how to minimize your risk of riding a crashing trend. You need to develop a swing trading system that lets you only enter trends at the right time and stops you from riding trends about to end. How do you identify that you are about to ride a beginning trend or an ending trend?

You should use an ADX indicator and only enter if the reading is above 20. However, in all aspects of trading nothing is 100% sure. The best thing you can do is to put the odds in your favor. You can use charts or technical indicators. Charts are much easier. Especially if you know the typical Candlestick patterns that signal a trend reversal like the hanging man and the hammer, you can know for sure that the trend is about to reverse and a new trend is about to start.

You can also use moving averages or MACD. Another approach in swing trading trends is to wait for the trend to pause and only enter on the day of strength or weakness. Whatever, method you use, make sure you only enter the trend after you have confirmed the trading signal. Combination of indicators and candlestick patterns can be highly effective in telling you when to enter the trend and when to exit.]]> http://www.forexmaestro.com/swing-trading-trends-knowing-when-to-enter-the-trend/feed/ 0
