http://trendtradingstrategy.com/trend-trading-for-a-living/ Many Forex traders try to trade trends for a living. But only some of them succeed. I have noticed that many trend traders are making a common mistake. They buy when the price is high and sell when the price is low. The rule of a trend trading strategy is following the trend. But another rule of any trading is to buy low and sell high. This rule applies not only in financial market, but in any other market as well. How to buy low and sell high? If you see that a trend is going up and the price is reaching its high level, this is not a good time for buying. That would be a good time for waiting for the downward trend to start. And the opposite. If the price is very low, wait for it to start going up to open a buying position.
