Which trading instruments trend the most?

Hi traders

I like to know your opinions about which trading instruments that trend most, and have least ranging as possible. I am working with a strategy that will work best in a market that trend as much as possible. So I thought first about Gold, but high spred and many ranging made me hesitant, so I thought to ask your opinion about it.

In fact my strategy is every new beginners mistake, and I know it, but I like to play with it until I either fale completely or succeed somehow. As long as it is in demo no harm is my thinking. It is about opening trades in fixed lot size that is so small that you can stay in the market for months even if you not get any tp which is so impossible to think with such a strategy in a trending market. Taking small stop losses every time, and setting high take profits so to get my losses back.
But I need to try the most trending instruments, so I hope you will share your experiences and market wisdom with me.

the Nasdaq must be one of the most trending markets......already at it for more than 11 years from 1,100 I think in 2009 to 11,000 now...........see for yourself

Before starting trading, a beginner trader should evaluate his possibilities and wishes rationally. In particular, it is worth analyzing:
- the size of the available capital;
- the purpose of starting trading (curiosity, desire to earn extra money, etc.);
- desired level of skill in trading;
- the level of readiness for risks.
If the initial capital allows, you can try yourself in securities trading. The market and option trading allow you to get your first income with minimum risk. If the risk isn't frightening - futures or metals are a good start.
Of course, there are other trading instruments for successful trading in the market. To learn how to use each of them masterfully, to understand trading strategies, to make competent analysis of charts and to carry out risk assessment will help systematic approach.
Personally, I like to trade with metals the most.
Metals are a stable asset that doesn't fluctuate due to economic downturns and has a long shelf life. Professional traders appreciate this trading instrument for its high liquidity and reliability. With proper strategy development, metals will bring good profits.
And yet, a beginner shouldn't start with trading metals. Such deals require some experience and preliminary training.

I am always, in all circumstances, convinced that any strategy can be productive and profitable, if you understand its mechanism, if you understand exactly when it can be used and with what assets - then you definitely have a chance to earn even with the simplest, classic strategies.
Because in fact, each of them has some standard characteristics. But there can be some nuances and details that require certain settings, etc. And for this you need experience and time. And in this sense your main tool is of course a demo. You should not risk all your money at once, even if you are experiencing a crisis or some difficulties. You have to be consistent and as calm as possible in every step you take, in every decision you make.

Thanks to you all for your inputs. All haveeen useful.

I have now a little issue I hope someone could clerify for me if possible. I am trying to download the gold data from the history in mt4 platform. I always get the message that there are no new data available. This issue do not happen with any other instrument. Just the Gold. And when I try to back test Gold I can see that I have only the last three months data stored.
So is there anything I have missed here? Or?

My favorite trading instrument is moving average.
This indicator is one of the simplest and many other indicators are based on it. Moving Average shows the average price value for a certain period.
Close prices of the last and earlier candlesticks can be considered with different statistical weight. Depending on this, there are several types of moving averages: simple, weighted, smoothed and exponential.
Moving averages are often regarded as a kind of support or resistance - not as straight lines, but as time moving curves.
Many strategies are built on the basis of the moving average. Almost everything is united by a common approach:
In an uptrend it is better to buy when the price touches the moving average from above and continues to move in the trend.
In a downtrend it is better to sell when the price touches the moving average from below and continues to move in the trend.

Carefully selected ETFs on common indexes like the S&P 500 or commodities like gold are the best bets for day traders. Bond futures: Bonds may not be the best trading instruments for day trading due to the high capital requirement.
