How to identify the trend

You know an uptrend consists of higher highs and higher lows.

But when you attempt to define the trend with this approach, you often face subjectivity in identifying the trend.

So...

Is there a way to define a trend more objectively?

Yes and I'll teach you how to do it in a step by step manner.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s video post. As always, comments are welcomed and encouraged. Cheers!

Thanks for watching!

Very simple. Please imagine wall clock or compass in mind and draw North, south, East and west., then see M.A. if M.A pointing vertically higher toward in between north & east, then consider M.A pointing 2 o clock.

Really enjoyed this lesson. Excellent clock analogy which helps you to remember the strength of the trend. Great lesson and thanks Rayner for all your video lessons.

In example 3, a double bottom can be clearly seen. Hence, I would go long immediately instead of waiting for any further confirmation or reversal.

I didn't know how to use the MA until now. Thanks Rayner! Very appreciated. Even if its been over a year since you posted this Hehe!

Thank you Rayner, your video is very useful to me!!!

actually telling whether the trend is strong just by looking at its slope is also very subjective....i think a more better way to put it is to determine whether a trend is strong by looking at how the price is respecting it (like if price is respecting 20ma, then it is very strong and if the price is respecting the 50ma, then it is moderately strong)

Hello Mr Rayner I don’t know if you’re going to see this comment but please on what TF do we look at the SMA?

[term]

nice video, would love to see one about how we can properly use this information though, such as 2 MA's being weak and the short being strong for instance, how would you use this information to your advantage?

[divyanshsingh]

Hello Rayner,
I am verry happy to get you as my teacher in SM. I have a question for you:
Can i use EMA instead of Moving Average to find the trend or to get into a Trade?
Or It is Simple moving average what you usually talk about in ur vdo's or EMA
Pls reply Rayner.
Thank you.
