What is a CFD Trend?

- The points used to draw the cfd trend are along the lows of the cfds price bars in a rising market. An upward bullish cfd trend move is defined by higher highs and higher lows.
- The points used to plot are along the highs of the cfds price bars in a falling market. A downwards bearish cfd trend move is defined by lower highs and lower lows.
- The points used to draw the cfd trend lines are extremes points - the high or the low cfds price. These cfds price extremes are important because a close beyond the extreme tells cfd traders that the cfd trend of cfd might be changing. This is an entry or an exit cfds trading signal.
- The more often a cfd trend is touched by cfds price but it's not broken, then the more powerful the cfd trend signal.
