Attention, traders! Tired of losing money in the market? The key to success is simple: never trade against the trend!
What is the Trend and Why is it Crucial?
The trend is the main direction that the price of an asset takes. It can be:
* Bullish 📈: Prices going up, forming higher highs and higher lows.
* Bearish 📉: Prices going down, with lower highs and lower lows.
* Lateral ↔️: Prices oscillating within a range, with no clear direction.
Identifying the trend is vital because it allows you to trade in favor of the market flow, increasing your chances of winning and avoiding impulsive decisions that lead to losses.
The Trap of Going Against the Current! 🤯
Trying to trade against an established trend is like swimming against a powerful current: you can hold on for a while, but the wear and tear will lead you to lose. Many fall into this trap, thinking that the price "has gone up too much" or that "it will correct". The reality is that 99% of the time, this idea is a fatal mistake!
EXAMPLE WITH $WCT: Imagine that $WCT has a clear bullish trend, with buying strength and increasing volume. If you decide to sell, believing that "it will change" or "is stretched", you are basically asking to be liquidated! Trading this way, without technical justification or a clear fundamental event, puts you on the losing side of the market.
It's already hard to follow the trend, imagine going against it! 🫠
Before Taking the Step... Ask Yourself! 🤔
Before considering a trade against the trend, stop and reflect:
* What is the main time frame that I am analyzing?
* What really justifies this decision?
* Is there a key event or a macroeconomic condition that supports my move?
* Am I improvising, acting on impulse, trying to guess the market without a solid basis?
If your answer is "impulse", "hurry" or "liking risk", STOP! You're not investing, you're gambling!
Trading against the trend requires thorough preparation, deep analysis of the context, and impeccable technical or fundamental justification. Without that, you are simply exposing yourself to unnecessary mistakes.
