If we are inexperienced by doing this, we should just focus on the one, follow the trend or fight the trend

for experienced traders of course it's easy to trade by following or against the trend, but for experienced traders it's better to just focus on trading following the trend

Forex trading is all about probability and until now there has been no trader in the world who really understands the real direction of the trend so we can use following the trend and sometimes we can also reverse direction using a counter trend but in the short term or scalping.

if we are experienced we should focus on just one system or in one style, and you should follow the trend

if you want to trade by changing the trend, you should do it if you have good skills and sufficient experience

I've done that in fact Actually I am a reversal trader not a trader who follows the direction but until here I realize that it is not always doing the opposite direction, the results will be good

of course ever and honestly I often do that because it's delicious at the time of the beginning and still do not understand about risk management, and it does happen, but if you've never experienced a loss then you will not dare to repeat it again

when we are comfortable with one style, don't ever change style because changing style is often not good and can cause us to tend to be unstable and often hesitant in applying anything and in making trading decisions.

until now I like to use trend counters because I think it quickly generates profit, and can be enough for my daily life but I use a large timeframe

I myself have always used a trend-following strategy since trading, I think from a risk perspective it is safer than a counter trend, other than that, in terms of opportunities I get bigger, because I make the trend a reference for the direction where the price will move, so when I follow the trend I get a bigger chance. but once in a while I've also traded with a counter trend, because I was tempted to get maximum profit with OP at the beginning of a trend or when a trend changes, but in fact it's much more difficult, because predicting where the end point of the trend is is very difficult

if I always follow the direction of the market and rarely fight the direction, because for me against the direction it will only frustrate you and can not control your own passions, so it is recommended if you can follow the trend only

to change the habit of previously fighting direction into follow trens you should start from looking at the direction in a large timeframe and down to a small timeframe to open a position, because that way you will get used to trading using follow trend

because my trading experience is not enough, so I prefer to focus on only one trading style, because if I change trading styles it will be feared that it will ruin my trading results

actually if you use counter trend also does not matter, because using whatever technique is also useful in any case, it is important we know that the technique we use is good
