The best Trend Line Channel Forex trading Strategy uses a very common form of technical analysis during trend forecasting.
It is a known fact that drawing trend lines manually come with a lot of challenges for most traders.
We have decided to adopt a strategy that includes a technical tool that plots trend lines automatically.
The strategy draws trend line channels around price, allowing us see price patterns that go against the normal trend, either as trend reversals or price channel breakouts.

Enter a bullish trade if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:

- If the dodger blue upward pointing arrow of the stepma-signale Metatrader 4 indicator pops up somewhat below the candlesticks with an accompanying lime green line (see Fig. 1.0), a buy signal is said to be appropriate.
- If the yellow upward pointing arrow of the pfd-snake-trend indicator pops up within the indicator window as exemplified on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be pushing price higher i.e. a trigger to go long on the selected currency pair.
