How to Trade Upwards Trend: traders use upward trend direction to open buy trades
Drawing a Gold Up-ward Trend-Line
When the market moves upwards it forms higher highs and higher lows forming a bullish market movement - upward trend. An upwards trendline can then be drawn by connecting these higher lows of price.
To draw this upwards trend set-up we use support areas. To draw the upwards trend-line correctly two supports are needed. When price touches the upward line we open buy xauusd trades and place stop loss just a couple of pips below the upwards trendline. The upward trend line below shows an example of this upwards trend.
Strategy for Trading a Upwards Trend - Drawing a Upwards Trend-Line
The upward trend setup will show the general direction of the market as bullish therefore traders only will open buy long trades as long as price is within this up trend setup and within the support areas.
These support levels are the levels where if the market retraces then this support points will provide strong supports for the price. This is why many buyers will wait til price retraces downward and hits these retracements levels on the upwards trend-line to open buy xauusd trades. Trades opened at these levels have a high Risk:Reward Ratio and have little draw-down.
In the above setup the trader would have opened buy xauusd trades form the signals generated at support 1, support 2, support 3 and these buy xauusd trade transactions would have been executed with minimum amount of draw down/retracement.
Upward XAUUSD Channel
A channel is drawn by drawing a line that's parallel to the upward trend line & then adjusted to touch the tops boundary of the price movement. This then forms a channel - upward channel & as long as price stays between these two channels the bullish market trend movement will continue heading up.
