There's a famous quote that traders and those expert in technical analysts are using and that is "The Trend is Your Friend".

Even the expert traders aren't trading against the trend because it will give them huge losses. I tried it one time personally when I'm trading in futures. I tried to trade against the trend and I end up losing a portion of my capital. I already put a stop loss before I did it that's why I didn't lose all of my capital, but for those who are thinking to try it, I don't know if there's a way for you to make up profit even though you're going against the trend. Even though we are saying that we should not trade against the trend, there are still some who are accidentally trading against it because they don't know how to read charts.

Overall, as much as we are saying that we should not make trades that are against the trend, there will still be traders especially those newbie ones that will do it without them knowing it.
