Trading with the trend is one of the reliable means to trading out there, I mean it’s what I learnt trading with even though I’m still not all that profitable in it.
Trends isn’t some indicator or tool available to you by default. You always get to define your trend by applying certain lines from the tools available to you. You draw the lines, making all the critical points either Higher highs or lower lows, ensuring you touch certain points, either the tail or your candle stick or the body. It’s always up to you to define that which is okay with you. Either way, it does help to ensure your not trading against the trend.
