A standard saying amongst forex trade is "The Trend is your friend." Trending Cycle Trending is when industry price moves in the exact same direction consistently in one single direction either up or down. What sort of forex market trend is inherently defined? A pattern may be defined as progressively higher lows and higher highs. Of course if the purchase price movement contains a straight line either up or down, then identifying a pattern would obviously be very easy. In actual life, currency prices move do not move in one direction consistently, so denying forex traders and easy trend read. Consolidation Cycle A Consolidation cycle also known as Non Trending or Ranging market, which appears like a


sideways / horizontal type of bars on a chart. Consolidating is when the market is struck between two horizontal support and resistance levels and cannot break these support / resistance levels for at the very least seven bars. You should use moving averages or other technical indicators to ascertain whether industry is consolidation or trending. In the event of a consolidating market, the moving average line will almost be horizontal. Breakout Cycle Now what's breaking out of a Consolidation? After the marketplace has been consolidation for at the least 7 bars and then your price sharply breaks out of this ranging market sharply to produce a new high or low.

Some forex traders will then get sucked into making trades with the wrong strategy into market cycles that the strategy just will not work in. This year in the July and August the market spent many its time in consolidation and breakouts with not many trends happening. A lot of traders I understand only did not have a technique for this sort of cycle so they either lost money over these months or stopped trading altogether until the marker started trending again. I was myself was in the exact same position. About mid way through July, I realised that my strategies where just not cutting it in this cycle and I go about on developing my forex strategies so they really included one strategy for each cycle. Now I'm comfortable trading and making pips in every market cycles. So it is important to have a set of forex strategies that cover all the market cycles.
