. Open the chart and identify the ongoing trend
The first step you have to do of course is to open the chart, then see the ongoing trend. You can choose which trends you want to follow and use. Recognize the ongoing trend, starting from long-term trends, then retreating to medium-term or short-term trends.
Even though you may choose which trends you will use, it is recommended to look for a major trend and follow it. Remember, "the trend is your friend".
