A cfd up trend occurs when the fore cfd price will continue making consecutive higher highs and higher lows. Each price high being higher than the previous high - higher high , and each low is higher than the previous low - higher low.

CFD Trading Up cfds trend lines gain more validity each time cfd price touches this upwards trend line but does not penetrate it. A up trend remains in place until this series of higher highs and higher lows is broken.
