Trend Following

The trend is your friend” works only when you can identify the trend objectively, ride it without exiting too early, and stop fighting it when it ends. The articles tagged here are the ForexOBroker library of trend-following tools — moving averages, MACD, ADX, Supertrend, Ichimoku Cloud, Parabolic SAR, the Hull MA, and full trend-following Expert Advisors. Each article explains the indicator or strategy in plain English, the markets and timeframes it serves, the parameters we run, and the entry/exit rules that keep you in a winning trade longer than the doubts last. We compare trend tools side by side so you don’t end up with three indicators that all say the same thing. Free MT4 downloads are included where applicable. Browse below for the trend-following toolkit you’ll actually use on Monday morning.
