How to Trade a Indices Trend Reversal

Stock Indices Trend Reversal Strategy

After stock indices price has moved in a specific direction for an extended period of time within a indices trend it reaches a point where it stops moving within the trend. When this happens we say that the trend-line has been broken & this is interpreted as a indices trend reversal signal.

Since the trend line is the point of support or resistance and this point of support or resistance has been broken after a indices trend-line break - we then expect stock indices price to move towards the opposite direction & this is interpreted as a indices trend reversal signal.

When this happens indices traders will close the open stock index orders that they had bought or sold. This is known as taking profit.

NB: Sometimes when stock indices price breaks its indices trend it might first of all consolidate before heading in the opposite direction. Either way it's always good to take profit when the stock indices trading market indices trend reverses.

To trade this indices trading reversal setup as a trader once you open a new indices trade in direction of the trend reversal the stock indices price should immediately move in that direction, in a indices price break-out manner. This means that the stock indices prices should immediately move in that direction without much of a resistance.

If on the other hand the stock indices prices do not immediately move in direction of the stock indices price breakout then it is best to close out the indices trade because it means that the indices trend is still holding.

Another tip is to wait for the trend-line to be broken and for the stock indices trading market to close above or below it so as to confirm this indices trend reversal signal.

What happens is that most traders open trades waiting for a indices trading reversal even before the indices trend is broken, only for the stock indices price to touch this indices trend-line and for the prevailing market indices trend direction to hold and indices to continue with the current market trend.

Therefore, when trading this indices trading reversal setup it's best to wait until the stock indices price break-out has been confirmed by stock indices price closing above or below trendline, depending on direction of the market.
