I use both and I do not believe in the myth that the best trades should follow the trend because many traders are successful with counter trends too.

It is better to follow a trend that has the greatest possible profit than to go against the trend, but my advice is to follow the trend at the beginning of the trend and always be careful when opening positions.
So you must be able to make an analysis of an initial trend.

Professional traders also often mention that trading will be easier if they follow the trend.
The problem is how to determine a trend in the market, even though it has been analyzed, the trend is not entirely going to work as desired.

Follow trends that are good to use when the market is trending / strong market, don't just follow the trend especially when the market is unstable, indeed the analysis must be strengthened more in order to find out a good trend.

If a smart trader takes the opportunity, Follow trends and counter trends are equally good as long as they must understand the characteristics of the market and also the pairs chosen by the trader.

It depends on the time frame you choose and use in determining a trend, because the trend will usually be different every time.
M30 could be uptrend but D1 is downtrend.

In my opinion, following trend is safer than counter trend because if equity is not strong enough, counter trend can be more risky than following trend.

It doesn't matter if you counter trend or follow trends, actually the most influential thing is opportunity, traders are required to be able to get it for profit.

The opportunity to take advantage of the trend or fight the trend is also important.
But if we want safer trading, you should not be far from the trend, still make basic orders based on trends.

It is better to follow the trend because the market will continue to run according to the trend, the orders that we make even though the minus will turn into profit.

I like to follow the trend, look on the higher timeframe, and then moving down to a lower timeframe to get a better entry point, but indeed how to predict the trend ahead is not as simple to think, overall still get earnings from all effort

style follow trend is safer, but I am a follower of a strategy that I believe is not based on people's recommendations even though many counter trends say it is risky.

I personally think it's better to follow the trend but with a short-term correction or counter trend. long term we follow the trend. even though we already know the direction of the trend, our position is wrong, we will first float

for me it depends on the character of each person, and the most important thing is to want to use any technique, we must be able to apply money management properly and correctly, so that our trading can experience profit in the end result.

There are traders who really focus on one trading style, can the trading style follow the trend or go against the trend.
One of the traders who oppose the trend is usually a scalper trader who looks for opportunities when correcting a trend.
