Trading Bias
Your directional expectation for the market.
Full Definition
Trading bias refers to your directional expectation (bullish or bearish) for a market based on your analysis. Establishing a bias before looking for trades helps filter opportunities - you only take trades aligned with your bias. Bias should be based on higher timeframe analysis and key levels.
Example
Your weekly analysis shows EUR/USD in an uptrend above key support. Your bullish bias means you only look for long entries on lower timeframes.
