in general, follow trend is better, but not all traders agree because counter trend can also be an alternative to developing a strategy or trading system to make it more profitable.

if we answer in general, of course most traders will prefer to follow the trend than the counter trend, but on certain occasions or certain styles counter trend will be better than the follow trend.

I use mixed strategies so when I use the short term style sometimes I use a counter trend but often I also use the follow trend when I use the long term style. I want to use just one of them but right now I'm adapting which one suits me best.

Following the trend is the best way to trade forex, when floating prices are certain to return to the trend's path, and can profit.
than against the trend can be carried by the flow and heavy losses

Follow trend trading is recommended but not mandatory because in trading there are 2 types of trading styles namely follow trend and counter trend, follow trend can be used for all time frames while counter trends only tend to be short term or low time frames

Forex trading is much better to follow the market trend because it is safer, opposite trend trading style is very dangerous especially for newbee

Risk of resisting the trend is clearly very large, it is necessary to use stop losses for each trade, for beginners there must be many who do not yet know how to anticipate how to trade against the direction.

obviously following the trend is the best way, fighting the trend risk is so great.
against the trend to take advantage of corrections can only be done in certain traders, scalping traders.

Long-term trading plan of the business always follows the current market trend, pay attention to market strength in the Daily trend.
If the trading plan is short-term, use short-term analysis by always applying money management.

Following the trend is much better, if there are no skills, don't fight the trend by taking profit from the correction. 
If you are wrong and slow in fighting the current, you will be carried away with a big loss.

Following or not following the trend is not a problem, because the trading system for each trader is different, as long as there is risk management everything can be controlled.
The problem is without risk management.

Those who are chosen always follow the trend, before following the trend
- Do we already know the current trend?
- Is the trend at the beginning or the end of the trend?
we must answer these questions first before following the trend.
if you have analyzed and found a trend, following a trend can be done.

How to get profit can be by following the trend and against the trend. 
Risks and profits vary depending on how we adjust to these conditions, smart traders always use every condition to make a profit.

I prefer to follow trends even though following trends is the main thing that is a myth that is often misused by traders, actually it's wrong.
