when we already have a trading style that we believe is good and fits into ourselves from the start then don't hesitate, let alone decide to change styles because a good style is a style that is occupied and we are faithful in building the trading styles and systems that we have.

if you really want to change the trading style from counter trend to follow trend and vice versa we must have a clear reason so that we can apply the changes better and be more suitable, of course, with the skills we have.

if I decide to choose one of the styles I will not change it because I think that if I have to change the trading system then we are just starting from scratch.

I have the principle of not changing my style whatever happens if I already have a follow trend style, for example, then I will not change it to a counter trend style or other obscure style.

I rarely change trading styles especially from following trends to counter trends, because I never and do not like to change trading strategies or styles.

Sticking to the initial analysis is very good, discipline to apply the analysis before reaching the target.
following the trend and changing it definitely has a bigger risk.

I have never changed my trading style, when I believed in my malka trading system I would maintain it properly so as not to be easily influenced by outside things.

It also depends on the condition, indeed if you change direction you will get multiple losses if you make a wrong decision, if you are not sure you should not do that.

Following the trend in my opinion is better, even though initially a loss will definitely lead to a profit in the long term, rather than changing trades that could cause 2x losses.

Changing the direction of my trade is rarely done because it has been regulated by risk management, stop loss. 
So I prefer to hold the initial trading plan and rarely change the plan.

Changing the direction of the trade being carried out is a very risky decision, if you are not sure, don't do it but if we are 100% absolutely sure of the analysis and take the decision, it is definitely better,

I often do it when a signal appears to counter trend, but I don't take much profit doing this

if we are the scalper type then we must be able to master both of them, so we can take advantage of trending and reverse direction, but if we focus on just following the trend, you should ignore if there is a change in trend or a reversal

When I first started trading more Counter Trend, it was even worse using Martingle technique. and you can guess, the edges are mostly my MC account.
iam a trader who following the trend and usually i only use one or two pair and be honest iam really the gold or XAUUSD and sometimes i sell and sometimes make a buy order, depend on where the trend going, so in my opinion is very normal we make buy or sell in single pair. and if you using the martianggle you have to use very proporsional lots and do not use big lots at the beginning.

We should focus on one goal only, if we follow the direction of the trend then we don't do the opposite, because with a focus we will be able to get better results.
