Forex Trendline Trading Strategy Aggressive Method Explained

With this method, as soon as price hits a trendline,

you immediately buy or sell at market prices.
you do no wait for forex reversal candlestick patterns signals

Currency Pairs to trade: Any

Timeframes to trade: any

Forex Indicators: none required.

Why?

If you’ve been trading for a while, you will notice that sometimes, when price hits a trendline, it immediately bounces up or down…price responds promptly to the trendline, respecting it.

So if its a downward trendline, price hits it and immediately moves down.

If it is a upward trendline, price comes down and hits it and immediately moves up!

Knowing this behavior, we can buy or sell immediately when price touches a trendline, anticipating that price will move away from from the trendline as soon as it hits it.
