Trading Strategy Concepts

Trading Systems and Trading Strategies all utilise a number of common concepts to take advantage of the small amount of predictability inherent in a market.

TREND TRADING

Trend trading is one of the most popular and common trading strategies. It involves identifying an upward or downward trend in a price movement and choosing trade entry and exit points positioned to trade in line with the trend in price. Breakout Strategies usually target an entry in line with an expected trend.

RANGE TRADING

Range trading is a simple and popular strategy based on the idea that prices can often hold within a steady and predictable range for a given period of time. Range Trading strategies typically buy into price dips and sell into rallies. This style of trading involves an element of anticipation with the goal to pick short term highs or lows.

MOMENTUM TRADING

Momentum trading and momentum indicators are based on the notion that strong price movements in a particular direction are a likely indication that a price trend will continue in that direction. Similarly, weakening movements indicate that a trend has lost strength and could be headed for a reversal. Momentum strategies may take into consideration both price and volume, and often use analysis of graphic aides like oscillators and candlestick charts.

SWING TRADING

Swing trading is customarily a medium-term trading strategy that is often used over a period from one day to a week. Swing traders will look to set up trades on “swings” to highs and lows over a longer period of time. This is to filter out some of the “noise,” or erratic price movements, seen in intraday trading. It’s also to avoid setting narrowly placed stop losses that could force them to be “stopped-out” of a trade during a very short-term market movement.

BREAKOUT TRADING

A breakout strategy is a method where traders will try to identify a trade entry point at a breakout from a previously defined trading range or price level. If the price breaks higher from a previously defined level of resistance on a chart or price level, the trader may buy with the expectation that the price will continue to move higher. Similarly, if the price breaks a level of support within a range or a lower price level, the trader may sell into the decline in anticipation of further price movement.

REVERSAL TRADING

As the name implies, reversal trading is when traders seek to anticipate a reversal in a price trend with the aim to guarantee entrance into a trade ahead of the market. This strategy is considered more difficult and risky. True reversals can be difficult to spot, but they’re also more rewarding if they are correctly predicted as you capture most of the move. MyTradingAdvisor favours reversal style trading above any other method.
