  3. To analyse the market, traders easily use the trend lines that could be recognised onthe charts and patterns. The traders draw trend lines to establish a connection between the prices of the market instrument traded. This aids them to have an idea of themarket dynamics and what could be the possible change in the markettrade. Traders draw trend lines either above the pivot highs and below the pivot lows,which helps them to predict the prevailing price direction. They are, thus, thevisual representation through the lines of various factors such as the price, speed of price,and the price contraction periods. Traders can even spot the support and resistance levels using the timeframes. Thus, traders get a clear picture of the market movements in the price of theinstrument with trend lines. A valuable technique for traders to analyse and study the market in advance for a successfultrade. Trendlines: Perspective andAnalysis Trendlines are technical tools that are used by technical analyststo get an idea ofprice fluctuations. The technical analysts look for trends in the price movements and donot consider other factors such as fundamental or past trades. Thus, traders know aboutthe trend in the price changes and ignore other perspectives of themarket. For a good and considerable trade, traders should identify the trend in prices to havean impactful and effective trade. According to the technical analysts, a trend study is thefirst step for analysis of the financial markets. To draw trend lines over the charts,traders should have at least two points. Moreover, traders can use various time frames asper their requirement; it could be a one minute time frame or a five minutes timeframe. Trend lines are popular among the forex market and other markets for analysis becauseof their availability in every sector and universal usage. Traders can use them with the time frames, intervals, or time periods and can even do so without these options. However, the trend lines are easy to use and could be readsimply. Traders have to draw the open, close, high, and low of the trade instrument over a chart for a specified period of time. Then traders can connect these lines and get a perspective and analysis of the market trend. For example, if there is a rising trend in theinstrument, it is thought to be support while entering the trade position. In such conditions,traders should go for a long market position. However, if the trend lines movedownwards, traders should use it as an indicator of market change and exit the tradeposition. Trend lines are not drawn frequently; however, these are adjusted with the time periods when required. A considerable source of information for traders to get pricefluctuations on time and have well decided marketdecisions.

  4. Trend lines:Components Trend lines are formed using various components to get exact data and have a clear picture of the market changes. A simple line of mathematical graphs also hasfactors involved to determine it, so to build a technical analysis of price movements, tradersuse the followingcomponents. Uptrend The uptrend line is a line sloping upwards with a certain data and specified time period. There are two or more points that make it possible for traders to form trend lines. The uptrend has two low points, in which the second low is higher than the first low, forminga positive slope upwards. To have a valid trend line, there must be three points justifying and connecting thepoints. The uptrend line is an indicator of support with high demand and less supply ofthe instrument, increasing with the price. The trend line with prices above it shows anintact and strong market position of the tradinginstrument. Downtrend

  5. In contrast to the uptrend, the downtrend is formed with two or more points that have a negative slope. The second point of the trendline is higher than the first point,connecting the three points to validate it. It indicates the resistance and represents the high supply and low demand of the instrument in the market. Thus, prices decline, andsupply increases. ScaleSettings It is a significant part of trend lines to draw the lines; traders have to be aware ofscale settings to have proper lines drawn. Using the semi log scale, traders get better trendlines with high and low points appearing on the lines. In the long term trend lines, there is an essential shift in the prices, making the use of a semi log scalenecessary. Traders can set their charts and patterns scale as per the arithmetic and semi logscales. Displaying incremental values in numbers and percentage,respectively. Validation Trend lines cannot be drawn like that; they require two or more points forconnection. With more points to draw the lines, traders get a more validate trend line with support and resistance levels represented. However, constructing the trend lines is not easy asthe points may not sometimes match, or there may not be sufficient points to drawlines. Trend lines work on the general rule that there have to be two points to constructthe trend lines, and a third point is required to confirm the validity of the trendlines. Spacing of Points andAngles The spacing between the points of trend lines should be at the proper place. The uptrend line should not have points too close or too far, low and high points. The space should be as per the time frames, pricing, preferences, and degree of price movement. As thepoints spacing is not proper, it could question the validity of the trendlines. An evenly spaced trend line is the ideal trend line to study the marketpatterns. Angles of the trend lines formed due to sharp decline in the trend lines give no proper and meaningful indication of support and resistance levels. Therefore, it is vital to havecorrect trend lines and points spacing for perfectangles. How to use Trend lines in the Forextrade? For using the trend lines in the forex market, traders should know how to drawthese trend lines. So here we have the steps to draw the trend linesaccurately: The first step to draw a trend line is to identify the markettrend.

  6. The second step is to take the help of the broker’s trading platforms; traders cango for any reputed broker such as . The trading platform provided by brokers hasa slanting line that signals the line tool. Traders can select the trading line tooland useit. In an uptrend, traders connect the low point to the next higher low point to drawa line. Traders extend the line to have a projection of the nextlows. Whereas, in a downtrend, traders connect the high point of the price to the lowhigh point to form a line. Then traders extend the line to have a projection of the future pricemovements. Next, traders choose two three points of higher lows below the price for theuptrend and join them to theline. And repeat the same with the downtrend but with the price tops of the lowerhigh above the price and jointhem. One point to remember is that the trend lines work as support and resistance inthe forexmarket. Using the trendlines in the forex market is easy; traders have to first know aboutthe trading breakouts and trading reversals or bouncebacks. In trend breakouts, traders should wait for the candlesticks to close below the trendlineor above it for a perfectdecision. Trend lines are used to identify the trend of the market; when the price retests thetrend lines, it gets stronger. When the price is upward and makes higher lows on-trendlines drawn, it indicates a strong uptrend in the market with a signal to buy in themarket. On the other hand, if the price trends downwards with lower highs, it signifies astrong downtrend and a sell signal in themarket. When the trade bouncesback: The first thing to do is to identify the trend with a long timeframe. If there’s an uptrend, traders should draw 2-3 uptrend lines connecting thehigher swinglows. Next, traders have to recognise the price retracements and patiently wait forthe price to touch the trendline. When the price bounces back off the trend line, traders should place a buytrade when the candlestick closes and touches the trend line in the direction of themarket trend. Traders place a stop-loss order two to five pips below the low of the candlestick. At last, traders can place their profit targets at the previous low swing highs ofthe chart. Similarly, traders should deal with the downtrend, using lower highs to draw thelines.

  7. Trading onbreakout: In trade breakouts in the forex market, traders can go for twooptions: Aggressiveentry Conservativeentry In an aggressive entry, traders enter the market when the breaking candlestickgives traders the confirmation below the trend line for an uptrend. Similarly, whenthe candlesticks confirm above the trend line, traders should go for adowntrend. Traders should have good knowledge of candlestick to have timely entry and exitfrom themarket. Conservative entry needs price retests before entry; when the price breaks the trend line, it may continue or may hand over the break point. In such a situation, traders wait forthe price to bounce back after the breakout. Then traders enter the second confirmation ofthe reversal. Using this, traders reduce the risk of the trade and falsebreakouts. False breakouts are when the price breaks through the trend line and again retestswith the candle closing above/ below the trend line. Traders should be aware of thefalse breakouts and should go for wrong decisions based on the falsebreakouts. Conclusion Trend lines are useful for market analysis and having more confident trade decisions. These are easy to draw and understand with market analysis. Traders can use thetrend lines to get a bigger and significant picture of the market. This guides them tomake decisions that would benefit them in thefuture. However, they may have false breakouts and need three points for validation which isnot possible with every trade. So, traders have to be careful while usingtrendlines.
