Trend Analysis

By Mandi in *Trading Tips

Those familiar with trend analysis will be aware that trends are often divided into 3 timeframes being short – intermediate – and major:

Short Term Trend: is one that consists of each individual candle in the case of an uptrend making a series of higher highs and higher lows.

Intermediate Term Trend: is one where the peaks and troughs of that trend are represented by the ends of short term trends.

Major trend: is one where the peaks and troughs of the trend are represented by the ends of the intermediate trends.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Trading the financial markets (especially on margin with leveraged products) carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade any instrument you must carefully consider your objectives, level of experience, and your personal circumstances.

The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading the financial markets, and we recommend you seek advice from an independent financial advisor.

Any information is general of nature and does not take into account your financial situation, objectives, or your individual circumstances and needs.
Please ensure that you fully understand and acknowledge all risks involved before entering into any trades.
