do that we're going to utilize the tool boox on the left hand side of trading view we're going to go to the trend line tools hit the arrow to the left and we're going to use the ray tool this is how we draw all of our trend lines on trading view when we're drawing our trend lines we are simply trying to look for the lowest point we see on the screen and then trying to capture as many touch points as we can without price intersecting here we've drawn an upward trend line with one two three

touch points excellent good job now that's step one step two wait this is the hardest part of the strategy sitting on your hands and waiting for the price to break the trend so now we wait oh here we go step three get in on the trend reversal this signifies an entry the price of platinum is no longer trending up we just got a break of the upward trend line now we want to get in on this downward Trend price was trending up price broke the upward trend line now we're anticipating the price is going to

continue trending down now trending in the opposite direction so this is called a trend reversal this is what we're trying to get in on now we need to identify a downward trend line so instead of looking for the lowest point we see on the screen we're going to look for the highest point we see on the screen same scenario we're going to try to capture as many touch points as we can without price intersecting point a point B all right now we get into the trade so we are placing a sell order first I know

for some beginners that may be a little bit confusing how do we make money when the markets go down when we're trading with a brokerage they allow you to borrow shares and sell them before you actually own them so we are anticipating that the price is going to go down so we are selling the shares to later then when price drops buy them back and that's a profit now we rinse and repeat we are going to stay in this trade until price breaks out of it a trend and then we get yet another Trend reversal

here's a tip when drawing your trend lines the more touch points you can get the better how long do we stay in this trade rinse and repeat same process as the first one draw the trend line find as many touch points as you can without price intersecting and now in this scenario instead of waiting to enter we are going to wait to close there we go price broke no more waiting now let's go back to Step One identify the trend when drawing upward trend lines we're looking for the lowest point we see on the screen

trying to capture as many touch points as we can without the price intersecting now rinse and repeat this was the most Broad and simple overview of my strategy but this is something that you can start implementing today full disclaimer it doesn't work out like this every single time every single trade there's going to be scenarios where you get into a trend reversal and the price fakes you out goes against you doesn't actually Trend in the New Direction this was an example when price works in your favor stay tuned on my channel so that I can
