Trend or flat: what should you pick? | There are two types of the trader: one trades with the trend and the other trades in the flat. Choose the approach you are more comfortable with. |
|
|
| Let's have a closer look. What is this? |
|
|
The Trend it is an extended directional movement of the price up or down, when every new local high is higher than the previous one. Trends are believed to take up about 20% to 30% of the time in the market. The flat, or a sideways movement, accounts for the rest. | The Flat is a price fluctuation within a narrow range of values. The chart looks like the price moves in a horizontal “corridor.” The price does not go outside its upper and lower boundaries. This price movement prevails any market and can last up to 90% of the time depending on period and the situation. |

| | If you opt for the trend: |
|
|
- Get patient. An obvious and long trend occurs seldom. You shouldn't hurry when working with it.
- Try to catch the movement in its early beginnings. This is when you can enter into many winning trades as it unfolds.
- Use trend-following strategies and chart analysis tools.
- Trade primarily one asset. Choose the one where trends appear more often. These are usually major currency pairs.

- Stay alert! The flat is quite treacherous, so make only the trades you are confident in. This is usually one out of three or five that you would like to enter into.
- Use strategies and tools to analyse the chart, rely on indicators and tools.
- Remember, the more times the price has bounced off the boundaries of the “corridor,” the greater the likelihood of a sharply rising or falling price. In this situation, it is critical for you to stay focused and not miss the right time.
- Try switching to other assets when the flat you have traded ended or you no longer understand it.
