In trend following it is widely known that the trend is your friend. Let's examine the importance of the big trades. It is very important to have the trade discipline to stay in a large winning trade. As important is to also have the trade discipline to enter the next trade after a series of losing trades. The large movers are what will usually make a traders year. Let us discuss and illustrate why it is so important to get in the big trade and not get out of the move to early.

The adage goes ride your winners and cut your losses. The best way to do this is with a systematic approach to the markets being followed. We need to know when and where we are going to enter and exit a trade. You also need to know what market the next big trade may be in. I find a diversified portfolio approach works best to find the big trades each year.

In order to participate in the next big trade you first have to be following that market. In commodities there are several market sectors that can have the next important move. The main commodity market sectors are fuels, metals, currencies, grains, interest rates, softs and meats. To put this all together most successful traders will use some type of systematic approach to establish an arsenal of trade signal entries, exits and stops. You can develop your own methods or follow the signals and portfolios of a system developer like TradeThink.

Trend following type trading systems are designed to capture a piece of a markets move when it is trending. Of course, to find the nice trend trades one has to go through periods of choppiness and consolidation in the markets. During the choppy times in the market a trading strategy will be looking for some type of strength or breakout to define a potential new trend. There will be signals given for trades that do not make the final cut and thus turn out to be losers. A losing trade must be entered then exited and a loss taken. Some wining trades will turn out to be losers. Through all of this the trader must keep the faith and have the discipline to keep executing in his trading method.

Those big winning trades are usually just down the path after many losing trades. You must stay the course and be patient in preparation for the big trade. You may not be completely aware once the big trade comes and know that you are actually in that big trade. This is why trade discipline is so important, because you will not know how the trade turns out until the trade is over. Many traders try to override this fact by perhaps exiting a winning position too soon. Exiting a winner to early may be one of the biggest downfalls of who would otherwise be successful traders. If you stay the coarse you will be rewarded.

Below you will see two charts for each market. The first chart will show a series of chop on small losing trades that will often precede a big winning trade. The second chart is that of the big trade.
