TREND IDENTIFICATION

Trend is your friend, never trade against the trend!”.

The old saying which every trader (day or intraday) should know and follow.

This of course doesn´t mean that there is no way to make money to do the opposite, but it is much easier follow the mood on the market. It is also reason why we consider trend identification as a crucial part of trading.

Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is one of the most effective trend identification indicator.

Traders like it because of it its simplicity. 

EMA is usually used in combination between 200 days (as a slow indicator) and 50 days or 150 days (as fast indicator of the trend).

  • Bullish Trend = EMA 50/150 is above EMA 200
  • Bearish Trend = EMA 50/150 is below EMA 200

Abnormal Volatility

Abnormal volatility means that market conditions are in extreme situation.

It may happen when large order or position is filled and it is usually connected with a huge volume. It could be that some big player stepped in or there was some news and market reacted accordingly.

These situations are commonly called “Pump and Dumps” and it is very dangerous for unexperienced traders to step into the marker. On the hind side such a situations bring opportunities because usually soon after such a move occurs there is consolidation phase going to the opposite direction to the initial move.
