# 3 Trading Rules= High Probability Trend Trades

Chart reading plays a pivotal role in trading the market, accounting for approximately 90% of the overall process, while actual trading makes up the remaining 10%. Achieving mastery in chart reading encompasses three vital elements: determining where the market is "LIKELY TO CONTINUE," "LIKELY TO GO," and "LIKELY TO STOP."

By developing proficiency in these three aspects, traders gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, enabling them to make informed decisions and execute trades more precisely. The ability to assess where the market is likely to continue its current trend, where it is likely to move in the future, and where it is likely to encounter potential reversals or pauses is instrumental in successful trading.

Analyzing charts provides valuable insights into price action, trends, support and resistance levels, patterns, and other critical factors that drive market behavior. By honing their chart reading skills, traders can identify optimal entry and exit points, manage risk effectively, and enhance their overall trading performance.

Notably, mastering chart reading requires continuous learning, practice, and refinement.&#x20;

By dedicating themselves to chart reading mastery, traders can gain a competitive edge and improve their ability to navigate the complexities of the market. This skill set empowers traders to make informed decisions based on a deeper understanding of the market's dynamics, increasing their chances of achieving consistent profitability in their trading endeavors.
