Trend by structure

Trend by structure is market direction defined not from indicators or line slopes, but from the sequence of pivot highs and lows. While price holds an ascending sequence (higher highs and lows) the trend is up; while it holds a descending one, the trend is down.

This way of defining a trend is objective and verifiable: it relies on confirmed Breaks of Structure (BOS) and records a change of direction through a Change of Character (CHoCH). It removes the subjectivity of classical technical analysis and ties the trend read to actual price behaviour and Smart Money logic.

Trend by structure is always read in a multi-timeframe context: the higher timeframe sets the priority direction, the lower one refines the entry. If the monthly trend is down, a rise on the daily is only a correction, not a change of direction. The Trade Model indicator and FocusProfit analytics help you hold the structural direction and not lose context too early.
