TOTW Is it better to trade with or against the trend?

traders should not look for certainties (not certainties in the market) but for clues, clues are there on the naked chart, but are not easy to read because the mind has the tendency to bias to tame the anxiety.

not sure about trends but the direction of least resistance can be spotted (with knowledge) if the tricky mind and anxiety is kept at bay.

the direction of least resistance also becomes the direction of most resistance and often they alternate to each other without given any clues or the clues are much more difficult to define (stay on the side).

but a good trader trades with and against if he/she is able to define the weight that one part has on the other taking in consideration the pain they are feeling trough the process.
 
Trading is part art, part science -- and you just gotta hope :eek:...you captured the right ratio...Luck certainly helps. :clover:

Think of trading...as following the lines...of a Mountains backdrop...follow the trend...
Nothing left to say -- you're just beating a dead horse already.

But before all of that...you gotta first determine your risk tolerance and time frame...so you can determine what's best suitable to trade for you.
