BASIC CONCEPT OF TREND 
 
There are three kind of trend in stock,forex or index  : 
- Up trend 
- Down trend 
- Sideways 
 
UP TREND 
 
Basic concept of up trend is HIGHER BOTTOM  , see picture below 
 
 
 
 
As you can see there is a higher bottom occured so we can call this up trend 
pattern. 
 
DOWN TREND 
 
 Basic concept of down trend is  LOWER TOP  , see picture below 
 
 
You can see there is lower top occured so we can call this down trend pattern 
 
SIDEWAYS 
 
Sideways or flat pattern occured when price only move in a range of band ,in other 
word price is in consolidation phase , for some trader this phase has critical 
situation because it can trigger the trend , in this phase you did not know where the 
price will go , yes in this phase better for you just sit and watch which range has 
broken , see picture below

If  below range border was break then down trend will take a part and vice versa

Ussually Sideways pattern only occured in one time frame not the others time 
frame , you can see sideways in 1H time frame  but ussually it did not happen in 4H 
time frame

- If major trend is up then look at minor trend and wait for bottom happened  
- BUY when bottom of minor trend happened 
- Place your Stop Loss at bottom of major trend , if SL too big you can place 
it at bottom of minor trend
