In trend trading, technical indicators are used to determine the market's current momentum. Trend trading strategies are usually focused on mid- to long-term trends, but in theory it can be applied to any timeframe. The goal of trend trading strategies is to identify trends as early as possible and exit the market before they turn around, so that you can profit from them. As a general rule, there are three primary trends: uptrends, downtrends, and sideways trends. In trend trading strategies (ADX), technical indicators like moving averages, the RSI, and the average directional index (ADI) are commonly used. If you don't have the time and resources to implement your trading strategy properly, it doesn't matter how good your strategy is. Having a strategy for the markets you intend to trade and how you intend to manage your risks is crucial.
