4 Jan 2010There will be a lot of different types of trading discussed when a person enters ETF. One of the often discussed types of trading is ETF Trend Trading. If you have taken a course or read about ETF trading, you already know that to be successful you need to do a technical analysis of a sector. This and other historical information helps you to spot patterns and trends in the sector in which you are trading.
If you have started trading and are doing the analytical work to spot trends and patterns, and are acting on those trends, you are already trend trading. It is not a secret strategy or way to conduct trades. A successful trader does their homework and acts on the trends that they see coming in the sector, or industry they are trading within. So, let’s take a look at trends and how you can use them more effectively.
There are different types of trends that a technical analysis can be used for. When a person does a three to five year analysis on a section they are focusing more on the short term. Short term indicators may show the changing trends, but those trends may be more affected by other variables in the current market and may have some false indicators that will not be helpful in reaching the kind of gains that a person is working towards.
If a person enjoys doing analytical studies on sectors. Yes, some people do. It is easy to get bogged down in the analytics and indicators of sectors. To avoid this, it is good to set parameters for the amount of study and research one will do before taking advantage of some of the more obvious trends that are evident in a sector.
When a trend is analyzed that covers 1-3 years it is called a short term trend. Doing a short term trend analysis is effective is a person is working on a sector that introduces a product or makes a research discovery every one to three years. But, there are a lot more opportunities shown in that short term chart that one may miss if they have not done further research.
Long term trends last from ten to thirty years. Within these trends are intermediate trends. When a person does ETF trend trading using long term trend technical analysis they can identify intermediate and short term trends and take advantage of the opportunities that are presented over the long term. Long term trending provides information that is more consistent for a sector.
Who makes ETF trend trades without doing the technical analysis that is required, will often come in just behind or just ahead of a profitable trend. By having the data and trends identified early a person can come in at the start of a healthy trend and get out before it reverses.
Many people who have a long term ETF are looking for steady growth in their ETF. While this is a very low risk ETF, if a person knows when it is going to reverse, they have an opportunity to save money by moving before the trend reverses.
