Trend trading has gained attention for its ability to capitalize on market momentum, allowing traders to achieve larger profits compared to counter-trend strategies. Trend traders typically maintain positions above key moving averages, with variations for different trading styles: position traders above the 50-day moving average, swing traders above the 10-day exponential moving average, and day traders focusing on shorter timeframes. Recent analysis indicates that trend-following strategies are expected to perform well over the next decade, with futures trend-following showing a year-to-date increase after a notable performance in 2024, which saw a rise of 72%, marking the best results since 1990.
