In technical analysis, we are always advised to follow the trend, but we must also understand that the trend is divided into three levels:
1. Beginning trend
2. Middle trend
3. End trend

We must be able to detect the current trend level where, if it is at the end of the trend, for me the best trading option is a counter trend, because we can get very good rewards with very little risk.

it is true. trend is your friend. why is that, because a trend that occurs when the market moves will determine what position we will take in determining the best price that can certainly benefit.

it is true that the trend must be made a friend because from that trend we can see the price position strengthens what is weakening, so we can take it to profit there

Bigger profits can be earned when we put our entry at market's beginning trend. We may get another chance to trade in the middle of market trend but we'll put our trades into more risk because market may move to create some consolidation first before it continues its trend. This moment is only good for short term trading. In the end with market's end trend, we better prepare ourself to hold our previous long term trading to stay open or close it because market is about to change its trend or continue it, we don't really know. If we want to carry on then set trailing stop with our trades.

yes, I strongly agree, but we also need to be able to detect what the current trand is, the start of the trend, the middle of the trend or the end of the trend, so that it doesn't sell in the valley and buy at the top.

yes, following the trend is the same as going with the flow, fighting the trend as well as going against the flow, and it's dangerous.

That's right, your opinion is bro, so we have to look at the trend first so that we don't make a mistake in trading

Open position at the beginning of the trend is very profitable, we can get many benefits with little risk, but if we doubt this is the beginning of the trend or not, installing SL+ or Trailing stop is certainly a good choice.

indeed the area of support and resistance is a good area to open positions.

it's real if you want to get a clear profit, the good thing is to follow the direction of the movement trend, so how far the price of the move will still be to the trend line again, just adjust the lotsize of trading capital.

agree, before opening a trading position, detecting the direction of the trend that follows it is very important.

well that is what must be the first time a trader identifies a day's movement, or a weekly trend so that he can understand today's movement it is a trend forward or just a swing correction before continuing the previous trend

Best place for entry is first reversal and first retracement. But it's too hard find clear signal on that area. I've read some TA book and almost off that book said ''trend follower loss signal around 25% from full of trend".

for traders both new and old, of course making the trend as a friend will provide an opportunity or opportunity to gain more profit than the trend. but there are also many experienced traders who often take advantage of opportunities to gain profits by fighting trends, for this psychological and mental strength is needed.
