Larry Connors’ Top 20 Series: Trend Following Strategies

Larry Connors’ Top 20 Series: Trend Following Strategies is designed for traders who want a cleaner, rules-led way to participate in sustained market moves without second-guessing every candle.

Trend following sounds simple: find strength, stay with it, and exit when the trend ends. In practice, it is easy to enter too late, exit too early, or abandon the plan after normal pullbacks. This course focuses on building a repeatable decision framework so you can define the trend, plan the trade, and manage risk with discipline.

If you prefer practical rules, consistent execution, and a process you can review in your journal, this training gives you a clear path to work from.

What is the Larry Connors’ Top 20 Series: Trend Following Strategies course about?

Larry Connors’ Top 20 Series: Trend Following Strategies focuses on the core principles behind trend-following: identifying directional conditions, selecting entries that make sense inside a trend, and using exits that protect capital while still giving the market room to move.

Rather than treating trend following as a single “signal,” the course frames it as a complete workflow. That workflow includes how you define a trend, what confirms it, how you avoid low-quality setups, and how you structure exits so you do not rely on hope or impulse.

A central idea in trend following is accepting uncertainty. You will not know which trades will run far, but you can build a system that limits downside and lets the winners do more of the heavy lifting. The aim here is to develop that system thinking in a way that is practical, testable, and compatible with risk-first trading.

What will you learn?

• How to define a tradable trend using objective criteria, not opinions.
• How to distinguish trend continuation from noisy mean-reversion, so you avoid fighting momentum.
• How to plan entries that align with the direction of the move, including pullback and breakout logic.
• How to use confirmation from price structure and volatility context to reduce false starts.
• How to place initial risk in a way that makes sense for the setup, not for emotions.
• How to design exits that balance protection and participation, including trailing concepts.
• How to think about position sizing with a risk-per-trade mindset.
• How to build a watchlist and scanning routine that prioritizes clean trends over constant action.
• How to document rules, track results, and improve your process through structured review.

Who is it for?

This course is best suited to traders who want an evidence-based approach and are willing to follow rules even when a trade feels uncomfortable.

• Active traders and swing traders who want clearer structure for entries, exits, and risk control.
• Traders who have tried indicators-heavy setups and now want a simpler, trend-aligned framework.
• System-minded learners who like checklists, journaling, and process improvement.
• Anyone who wants to reduce impulsive decisions and build consistency over time.

It is not a shortcut product. Trend following requires patience, realistic expectations, and the ability to accept small losses as part of the method.

How does it work?

Larry Connors’ Top 20 Series: Trend Following Strategies is structured around a step-by-step decision model you can apply to charts. The emphasis is on turning trend following into an operational routine: define the conditions, select the setup, set risk parameters, execute, and then review outcomes.

Because trend following is sensitive to market regime, the process also encourages context checks. You will learn to ask practical questions such as: Is the market trending cleanly or chopping? Is volatility expanding or compressing? Is the move mature or early? Those questions help you avoid forcing a trend-following entry into a market that is not offering trend-following opportunities.

The core value is not complexity; it is repeatability. When you can run the same process across many trades, the results become easier to analyze and improve.

Benefits

When executed with discipline, trend following can reduce decision fatigue because you stop trying to predict every turn. The benefits of a stronger framework are mainly behavioral and operational: you trade fewer, higher-quality conditions and you protect your downside with a plan.

• Clearer trade selection by focusing on directional conditions that support trend continuation.
• More consistent execution through rules that limit improvisation.
• Better risk control by defining invalidation and risk exposure before entering.
• Improved reviewability because your outcomes tie back to a documented process.
• Less emotional trading as decisions rely more on criteria than on narratives.

Prerequisites

You should be comfortable with basic chart reading and common trading terms such as trend, support and resistance, and risk per trade. If you already understand how orders work and how to track your trades, you will be able to apply the methods faster.
