A good analysis does not lie in whether it is following a trend or a counter trend but on the strategies and discipline that are applied that make a profit stand.

choosing a follow trend in my opinion is a good choice it's just that the counter trend is also not bad because as long as you master the strategies associated with it then it will benefit.

I like the counter trend because the counter trend is the style I chose and I feel it fits the style because it is a scalping style that I have been using for a long time.

In daily trading I am like to prefer use follow trend strategies with a look on large timeframe like as daily, but sometimes I am trading scalping if the market in high volatility, and this usually will only look chances on a small timeframe which some time work counter trend

In my opinion, following trends has advantages, to be able to achieve very large profits, my trading which briefly gets 200% more profit by following the daily trend, from $20 to $62,91

in my opinion if we discuss the counter trend and follow trend there will be no end because we are talking about technical and fundamental differences. Counter trend or follow trend is related to the style so each person will have different opinions and choices.

I prefer to follow the trend because it is better at showing the actual trend and certainly a strong trend will be safer than looking for a reversal trend that we do not know when it formed.

the choice is quite difficult indeed if faced with the choice between counter trend and follow rend because I have a mix style that does use both styles, so I think both are good.

counter trend style is often a debate because the style is risky, whereas if we look at the time frames that differ between counter trends and follow trends can be the same direction.

I use both depending on market conditions that occur, if the market is in a long rally then I use a follow trend and if the market sideways then I sometimes do a counter trend.
if I see actually more successful traders by following the trend.

I have used both of them, but now I am more focused on following trends because I consider it safer and faster in making profits, following trends is also widely adopted by professional traders so it has become very recommended compared to counter trends.

Both counter trends and follow trends are strategies for managing trends, both of which are good and in my opinion cannot be compared especially in the use of different time frames because large and small time frames will be better suited to one style.

I think it depends on the type of trader itself, if you like swing trading, I think it is best to use a follow trend, because in terms of the target, the follow trend is more profitable. the target being pursued is bigger and further away from the counter trend. but if you like scalping I think it is suitable to use a counter trend, because the counter trend only uses price retrace. the target range is not too big and so far away. different again if the counter trend is right before the current trend will change direction, where the target can be twice the initial target. I personally prefer to follow the trend because the risks and rewards obtained are based on straight. in terms of safe follow trends are also advantageous because it does not fight the flow of the market.

the two are actually no different as long as they are run correctly because the counter trend is actually a good strategy as long as it is still within the limits that meet the requirements, especially if used in a small time frame.

I clearly prefer to follow the trend even though my trading style is scalping. I still prefer to follow the trend than the counter trend that tends to be risky, it's just that I follow the trend with certain conditions as long as I don't follow the trend.
