Trading Forex with Trend Line Indicators

Trend Lines are the most powerful technical analysis tools. They allow you to gauge the trends direction, identify potential reversal levels and enter trades with low risk and high reward. In this article, you will learn how to use trend lines indicators in FOREX trading.

Trend lines are a basically a dynamic support or resistance level. Unlike horizontal levels which are a static level, the trend line is a level that advances with time. The trendline can be either ascending trendline or descending trendline.
There are two main methods of trading trend lines.

Method 1: Bounce
The core of this trading method is that support or resistance are a psychological barrier that price does not break easily. Traders that are trading the bounce wait for price to touch a support or resistance trendline, and to begin a reversal. They then join the new trend, entering in the direction of the reversal.

This method has two main advantages: the first one is that the trading signal behind the trade is based on support and resistance and therefore is strong and reliable. The second advantage is that the trade is taken close to the level, which means that the stop loss is very tight and risk:reward is good.

Method 2: Pullback
The pullback method is slightly different, though it is also based on support and resistance. The basis of the pullback method is waiting for price to break the trend line and then retrace back. Then, traders enter trade in the direction of the breakout.
This method is more reliable than the bounce method as the trader enters trade after a breakout has been validated, and therefore has the trend on his side. However,  these trades are much less frequent and therefore it is hard to base your entire trading methodology on this method alone.

The same as with the bounce method, the stop loss is usually very tight and risk:reward is very reasonable.

Pieces of You $2.05 Jewel’s debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special voice–strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common …

The Green Mile (Collector’s Edition) [VHS] $0.01 “The book was better” has been the complaint of many a reader since the invention of movies. Frank Darabont’s second adaptation of a Stephen King prison drama (The Shawshank Redemption was the first) is a very faithful adaptation of King’s serial novel. In the middle of the Depression, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) runs death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. Into this dreary world walks a mammoth p…

The Notebook [VHS] $9.50 When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology. Yes, it’s syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper that his late father John–whose own films were devoid of saccharine sentiment–would have sneered at. Still, this touchingly i…

Seven [VHS] $1.29 The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal-maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that’s both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. From the jittery opening cr…
