Strategy overview

Trend trading commits to a direction the market has already established and stays with it until that direction breaks — a stance whose difficulty lies almost entirely in execution rather than in the idea. What sets this entry apart is not the concept but its packaging: the source video presents the approach as three sequential steps, attributed to a named guest trader, Anthony Crudele, rather than as a house method belonging to the Chart Fanatics channel itself.

That step-based framing matters. A trader who describes their work as a numbered sequence is describing a process — a series of decisions taken in order, each one gating the next — rather than a single signal that fires on a chart. It is the way practising discretionary futures traders typically explain their reasoning to an audience, and it is a different kind of teaching material than an indicator recipe: the steps carry the judgement, and the chart is where that judgement gets applied.

The futures venue shapes what trend following has to survive there. Leverage and margin mean an adverse swing inside an intact trend can end a position before the trend does; contract expiries and rolls mean the instrument a trader follows is a stitched series rather than one continuous asset; and near-continuous sessions mean trends develop across hours when most participants are absent. Note that this entry is catalogued under technical-indicator methodology, but no specific indicators, timeframes or chapter timestamps were captured from the source, and no rule set was extracted — the page indexes the video as a practitioner segment rather than presenting a mechanical breakdown of it.

Frequently asked questions

What does trend trading mean in futures markets specifically?

It means holding a position in the direction of an established move in a leveraged, expiry-based contract. The concept is the same as in any market, but futures add margin pressure, contract rolls, and near-continuous trading hours, all of which affect how long a position can realistically be held.

What is this entry based on?

It is based on the video "COPY These 3 Simple Steps To Master The TREND Trading Futures - Anthony Crudele" from the Chart Fanatics channel, which presents the approach as a sequence of steps attributed to a named guest trader rather than as a channel-branded system.

Does this page include the strategy's rules or indicator settings?

No. No rule set was extracted from this source, and no specific indicators, timeframes or chapter markers were captured. The entry catalogues the video and its methodology classification rather than reproducing a mechanical breakdown.

How would I evaluate a step-based trend approach before trading it?

Turn each described step into a condition you can state without ambiguity, then test the resulting sequence on historical futures data across both trending and range-bound periods. Strategy Decoder catalogues strategies like this one from video sources so you can see what structure, if any, has been extracted before you build on it.
