trend (redirected from trended)

Trend

The general direction of the price of an asset or market. Trends can be thought of in varying lengths including short, intermediate and long term. If one can identify a trend, it can be highly profitable as you will be able to trade with the trend.

Notes:

It is best as a general strategy to trade with trends, meaning if the general trend of the market is headed up be very cautious towards taking any positions that rely on the trend going in the opposite direction.

A trend can also apply to interest rates, yields, equities and any other market which is characterized by a long-term movement in price or volume.
