Let me see if I can help out here a bit. I have heard say that Technical Indicators help judge a trend. One of the most widely used indicators, moving averages can help traders verify existing trends, identify emerging trends, and view overextended trends about to reverse. As the name suggests, these are lines overlaid on a chart that "average out" short-term price fluctuations, so you can see the long-term price trend.

How to put a good stop loss still trying to figure that one out myself..

You must know also that major trend reversals happen often during major economic releases. Sometimes it brings and end to a trend and starts another.

just learn about what forex trend is,draw a trendline and compare the trend line from Higher TF to Smaller one and you can identify up or down the trend

One way is to setup 3 moving averages (30, 50, 100). From there you will know where is the trend.

To identify a trend, some look at how moving averages are interacting with each other, some look at technical indicators that have been specifically created to identify trends and some like me prefers to see directly at the price action.
