Lesson 42 — How to Recognize a Trending Market

Many traders think they are trading a trend when they are really trading a single impulse, a temporary breakout, or a noisy directional push inside a larger range. If you cannot recognize a true trending market, you will often apply the wrong expectations, the wrong setups, and the wrong management style to price action.
