I agree with you but I can't explain why it feels more easy to trade agains the trend then with trend. The first mistake I made when I started is to trade always agains the trend.
Your comment there is somehow ambiguous and I'm lost trying to decipher what's in there while balancing it with my position. May be you will care to expatiate on that.
The first thing to understand when using an indicator is that it is not a 100% result. Often, many do not take this into account, and have not the most positive result.
If you're a genuine newbie and you already understand what you uttered there and keep to it, you're of course standing on the shoulders of giants. You will achieve more in this industry if you don't get distracted. Nice observation. Keep it up.
I will try to explain it. When you see some candles in one direction and you are a newbie it was natural for me to try and trade agains it. For example: When it goes down 2-3candles it made more sense to go long there and catch a falling knife then to follow the trend. Not seeing the bigger picture was my biggest problem when I started trading.
