Yes trend is really our friend but we have to make sure that market is not approaching or at a major resistance/support point before we make our entry even with the trend.
Why make waves when waves are already made.
Yes if we look on the chart, it is like as wave although seems randomly, if we can understand with the wave on the market that occur and keep discipline to waiting on high and low, it will minimized risk possibility, but if often rush it's too risky and might often loss.Their are many such waves in the markets and we have to know and understand which are the correct waves so that we are able to Filter them out and then use the right one
And trading against the trade rarely works. The markets can always go lower than your pocket can take.I actually think that one can trade against the trend to make a profit, but that requires a lot of practice and experience. It's certainly not something inexperienced traders should try on a regular basis and with a live account.
