- MACD Indicator
- Moving Average Indicators
- ADX indicator
- Price Action itself
- Candlestick Formations
More advanced means of trend identification utilize tools like Elliot Wave Analysis.
Swing trading is typically the trading style that is associated with Trend systems. Trend systems are typically longer term trades that can last a couple of hours up to years. The Trend system is the most effective trading system as it has the lowest risk associated with it, the highest rewards or profit targets, and typically they take the least about of time to analyze and trade.
New forex traders in particular but all traders find trend systems difficult to trade because the feel like they have to do something all the time which results in constantly opening and closing trades and they do not feel comfortable with holding onto trends and doing nothing while they make profits.
