The trend...

OK, so here's the deal...
I've read some basics about forex...and atm i feel quite confortable with the terminology used in this field....i studyed the graphs+keep in mind fundamental analisys and so forth...
One thing i didn't understand though, was where the heck can i find some data about the trend? A good call like, beginners should trade on 4h timeframe with the trend soonunds cool, but where to find the trend, how to determine it...
any1 got any info for me?

Hmmm...I've never thought about this.

I guess it's kinda like love. No one can really tell you what it is, but you'll know it when you see it.

In all honesty though, a trend, to me, is a series of higher highs and higher lows (or lower highs and lower lows). I would study some candlesticks, because sometimes a "trend" may actually just be a retracement, which would suck if you thought it was a reversal.

I know that's not the best explanation, so let me know if you need anything else.

There are many different ways of determinig the trend. You can use the one sugested above or you can use indicators to determine it. Bellow are a few examples of how you could use indicators to determine the trend. You just need to find your own definition of a trend, one that would work for you.
HTH.

A little bit about timeframe ...
