Tips For Beginners: ETF Trend Trading

By Patrick Deaton

When first beginning ETF trading a person will find that there are many websites that offer services and programs that provide the technical analysis required to be effective with ETF Trend Trading. However, before deciding on a service or program, it will be important to learn how trend trading works and decide how much of an investment in tools and resources will be needed.

When doing an accurate technical analysis a person will need an analytical tool. There are many available that will give the detailed information that will help to identify trends and patterns in a sector. The programs usually are broken into short term, intermediate, and long term trends within a sector. Some of the programs offer other charts and graphs that provide information on the trends that are occurring within trends.

Using these tools without doing the necessary historical data collection on a sector can make analyzing trends less effective. A person will want to use a combination of technical analysis and historical data to identify any obvious indications of why a trend may have been a anomaly in the overall picture of that sector's trend history.

However, this trend may not be repeated again in the sector for several years. A person making a future trade based on the indicators of the analytical data alone would not know this and the trade made would not be as successful as might be expected.

The basic premise of ETF trend trading is to get in when stock is taking on in a direction, either up or down, and stay on the ride until it reverses. By taking a long position when it is rising and a short position when it is losing, a person can move when the trend reverses, or when they think it is going to reverse.

A person who is involved with their trades and has analyzed and studied the indicators in their sector will have a better ability to be effective in ETF trend trading. There are some sectors that trend trading is very effective with and other sections that do not have the indicators that make trend trading an effective method on a consistent basis.

Setting buy and sell limits will act as a safety net if a person gets caught up in the movement of a trend. The longer that a person stays in when a trend is getting ready to reverse, the more risk they are taking. By setting buy and sell limits, and sticking to them, the gains will be more consistent in trend trading.

Learning about systems, strategies, methods, and types of trading, including ETF trend trading will give a person a broad pool of information to pull from when there is an opportunity presented in ETF trading. By knowing about the different aspects of ETF trading a person is more prepared to system systems, trading strategies, or sectors when needed. - 23210
