Go to the refills section of www.reasonstation.net for some good trance patches for subtractor. Look under the refills section.

Its always good to try and layer your synths to get a phatter, more trancey type sound. Experimentation is the key.

I would recommend reading up on synths (this has helped me a LOT). Search for synth reading material on Google, or check out the book Sound Synthesis and Sampling (this is the book that I'm reading at the moment).

If you really are as new as you say you are then I have one single piece of advice that will turn your weedy single synth line into something better:
Delay

Run your Subtractor patch through a stereo delay or echo effect and play around with the delay time until it sounds better (try irregular intervals like 3/4). Having a different delay time for the left and right sometimes helps too.

Personally, I've never written anything without at least one delay effect. But, above all else, experiment and have fun!

Reverb is also essential in achieving the phat synth sound.

Don't go overboard with it, though.
