As a trader, know that the market trend is not your enemy; it must be your friend. Avoid trading against the trend.
Every trader knows the saying of the trend is your friend!!
Trading against the trend is like trying to catch a falling knife and you can imagine the aftermath...
Following the market trend is crucial when trading because it helps you align your trades with the overall direction of the market, increasing your chances of success.
Agreed, but the only problem about trading is that you can't trade with only one factor, to increase your winning rate you need other confluences such as multi-timeframes analysis, knowing which order block will hold, your premium and discount etcetera
Trading against the trend is risky and can result in losses, as you're fighting the market's natural movement. By identifying and following the trend, you can enter trades with momentum on your side, ride the wave of price movement, and make more informed decisions.
Do you only trade according to the trend or you counter-trend trade from time to time?
One thing is for sure, if you trading on the wrong time frame you might think you are trend trading when infact you are counter trading which goes to show multi-timeframe analysis needs to be mastered!
Otherwise trend trading is much easy to trade with unlike counter trading which takes time to hit your take profit 🎯
