1. Trend. Types of Trends

The term 'trend' refers to visually discernible price movement, which can either be upward or downward.

Types of trend:

  1. Upward (bullish) - the market is experiencing growth;
  2. Downward (bearish) - the market is declining;
  3. Horizontal (flat, sideways) - movement is observed within a horizontal range.

Trend channels are formed using trend lines that represent a specific direction of movement."

Regardless of the chosen trend, trading within trend channels is considered one of the most profitable trading approaches. What's more, entry and exit points can be determined with a high degree of precision. With the acquisition of specific skills and an understanding of market dynamics, price forecasting becomes relatively straightforward.

2. Categories of Trend Channels

There are several approaches to trading on trend channels:

  1. Trading within horizontal channels.
  2. Trading within ascending channels.
  3. Trading within descending channels.
  4. Trading within channels featuring mirrored levels and various trends (ascending, descending, sideways).

Each type of trading within a channel comes with its own unique characteristics. Equally important is the ability to anticipate the formation of channels in advance. This process entails a sequential approach in finding the right tools for working within channels, trading within existing channels, as well as accurately calculating potential losses, not just profit targets. It requires the skill to select precise entry and exit points from a position and the capability to independently create trading channels. It's essential to adeptly manage prices or adapt to the actions of major market participants.

It's essential not only to be aware of the rules of technical analysis but also to deeply understand how and why they work.
