Defining a trend?!

A lot of trading strategies are based on a "trade the trend" concept". But sometimes it is very difficult to define a trend. So I am asking you "forex factory" traders:

How do you define a trend?

Thanx

Congrats on your first post.

This is how Jacko determines the trend. It may appear simplistic but I think what he's saying is it doesn't take voodoo or rocket science to figure it out. It's mostly common sense.

Seriously, don't make this part more difficult than it needs to be......

Base your "Jacko" trend reading off the weekly chart - it is normally pretty obvious.

Don't waste a bunch of time looking for trends within trends - it will only lead you to make bad decisions.
