Trading Rules Explanation

The Channel Surfer Auto Trendline Indicator consists of three lines, that together create a trendline channel with a bullish, bearish, or neutral slope. Each line is explained in detail below:

Upper Line: this line is the upper band of the channel and works as a dynamic resistance of the market. This is a perfect place for a short trade if the price fails to break it and pass above that upper trendline.
Mid Line: this line works as the core of the whole trendline channel. If the price hovers above that level, it indicates the probable continuation of the bullish trend. Similarly, if the price hovers below that level, it validates the current bearish thrust of the market momentum.
Lower Line: this line is the lower band of the channel and works as a dynamic support of the market. This is a perfect place for a long trade if the price fails to break it and pass below that lower trendline.

As always, to achieve good results, remember about proper money management. To be a profitable trader you need to master discipline, emotions, and psychology. It is crucial to know when to trade, but also when not to trade. Avoid trading during unfavorable times and market conditions like low volume/volatility conditions, beyond major sessions, exotic currency pairs, wider spread, etc.
