When it comes to swing trading, the trend is everything. NEVER trade against the trend. Before a swing trader places any trades, they should have always made sure that they have identified the trend and are only trading with the flow of the trend and not against it.
Three common methods that swing traders use to check and confirm the trend are:
- Trend Indicators – A popular method of identifying trends is through the use of indicators. The most popular indicators are moving averages and Relative Strength Index.
- Price Action Trend – For those who prefer to trade without indicators, the use of price action to identify trends is one of the oldest and for many most reliable method to identify trends.
- Pivot Point Trend – Another popular method of identifying major trends is through the use of pivot points.
While there are a wide variety of ways to identify trends, the above three styles are the most common and are a good way for anyone new to swing trading to correctly identify the trend.
