If you are looking at trading in the forex, your primary goal is to make a steady and sound profit. Many traders seem to choose trend trading, finding trending patterns and jumping on the trend to profit.
The charting tool that has gotten very accepted recently is candlestick charting. Candlestick charts are able to put a great deal of information in a very small space. The trick is seeing the trend in progress rather than when it is all completed. Trends are easy to see in hindsight, that's for sure and for certain.

Some people draw a line above the low points of the candlestick shadows while prices are rising you will see the up-trending slope. In the same way you can draw a line above the high points of the shadows during a falling trend and you can see the downward slope.
Sideways trends are when prices tend to channel closely and not break out. When a side ways trend is happening you will see lines that are almost parallel and horizontal.
When you have a sideways trend with horizontal lines you may expect a breakout to occur. Calm trends don't seem to last to long. One approach that traders use is to set an order to execute when the trend breaks either over or below the current trend.
Still some other traders look at sideways forex trends to indicate a change in the main movement of that currencies rate. As an example the trend pattern may follow consistent upward trend. This may indicate a resistance against the rate moving any higher. A person might reason that the upper line is a resistance point and a decline is going to follow.
Because the forex is a very hazardous beast, always do extensive research in creating your system. With forex trading there are a plethora of tools available to do back testing, use them. Also do real time testing with a demo account prior to putting real money into using your system.
Trend lines can be an tremendously accurate and reliable way to analyze the market and trade in a profit. That is what has been done for decades, maybe even centuries. It was only recent times that we have the mechanized methods to examine the market.
Patience is a virtue when trading the forex trending market. It is alluring to jump into the market before your criteria has been fully met. This is very unsafe. I have been there, you could reason that I am not making any money not being in the market, but, maybe it's better to say, "I'm not losing any money sitting on the sidelines."
