Trend: higher highs and higher lows
Market structure
The trend is your friend. But how do you actually see it?
Rules
- Uptrend: higher highs + higher lows
- Downtrend: lower highs + lower lows
- Otherwise: range
An uptrend makes higher highs and higher lows. A downtrend makes lower highs and lower lows.
Real gold structure
On a real 4-hour gold chart we label each swing: HH (higher high), HL (higher low), LH (lower high) and LL (lower low). Two higher highs and higher lows in a row mean an uptrend; lower highs and lower lows mean a downtrend.
How to use it
- Uptrend: look for buys at higher lows
- Downtrend: look for sells at lower highs
- Break of structure = warning
In an uptrend, look to buy near a higher low. In a downtrend, sell near a lower high.
