Success in Forex trading largely depends on number of skills. Learning to identify the trend is one of the most important in my opinion. Once you learn quickly and effortlessly identify the trend your job becomes simple. All you have to do is to make trades according to your trading system but with current Forex trend.

The beauty of the trend identifying skill is that anyone can learn it very quickly. Since it is easy to point the direction of the price movement the identifying the trend is also quite simple. Any time frame will work. However the trend is most clearly seen on higher time frames.

Here is a way to learning to identify the price trend in Forex. Traders use different approaches to identify the trend. I personally use most simple ones. For example on 15 minute chart I apply an EMA with averaging period of 96. That covers 24 hours. An EMA pointing upwards shows me that the trend is up. An EMA pointing downwards show that trend is down.

Another phenomenon that called sideways market. You can see it when the price moves sideways between support and resistance levels without breaking out of them. Therefore there is no trend upwards or downwards.

A good part of the such horizontal movement of price is that sooner or later it will break out the support or resistance. If it breaks the support it will create a downtrend. If it breaks the resistance price will go in up trend. Either way it is a good opportunity to take a trade.

Many traders use this horizontal movement of the price directly by scalping the Forex. The straight forward way to do such trading is to enter short at the upper level and exit at the lower level. When price reverses do the opposite. There will be only one losing trade when price breaks out the range.

Whatever strategy you use to trade currency remember that you need to thoroughly test your system. Use back testing as well as forward testing on a demo or even better on a small live account. Also keep in mind that there is no such thing as a 100% wining system. The most profitable system will give you the loosing streaks from time to time. You need to understand the risks before going with your trading system to trade real money.

Once you learn to identify the trend by whatever method you chose you can become a profitable trader. However you need to always remember to be objective when you identify the trend. It is especially hard to be objective when you have an open trade with your real money.

When it comes to trading our real money we either hesitate and lose the good trading opportunity or we jump anxiously int a trade when set up was not formed yet. That’s why you need to develop self control and be objective in estimating the market conditions.
