Trend pullback

Join the trend on a dip

Trade with the trend, but enter on a pullback instead of chasing. In an uptrend, wait for price to pull back to a higher low or demand zone, enter there, put the stop below the higher low, and target the next high or beyond.

Remember: Rules: trend clear, pullback holds, risk defined before entry.
