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

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

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

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