Depending on the person if you are a high risk counter trend, but I don't recommend even using large capital

If most traders prefer to follow the trend if they have a strong trend up or down, choose a clear pair

The counter trend or follow trend is actually the same depending on the current trend if using a large TF can pay attention to the small TF as an entry.

The thing that is difficult for professional traders to do is counter trend trading because it is very risky especially using large capital

precisely professional traders are adept at using counter trend styles as long as their style is indeed counter trend because professional traders have mastered the feel of the market.

Most of us who use counter trend are scalper traders who in fact look for small pips, but many times if you are an expert, you may

I prefer to follow the trend because following the trend is one of good risk management in addition to always having to apply risk management or MM.

I prefer to follow the trend because in my opinion it is safer and also provides a faster profit [against the trend, the counter trend risk is also greater.

between follow trend and counter trend in my opinion both are the same difference only lies in how they trade because counter trends are also good if we know the important and appropriate moment to enter and exit the market.

It is better to follow the trend, it's safer especially if you use RSI will be very safe and use a good MM

Actually it's the same between counter trend and follow trend. The only difference is how to open the position, but if you don't want to be confused, just use the follow trend.

A good trader is the one who follows the trend because it can be for the medium and long term but it goes back to where each trader wants to choose

I use both depending on market conditions that occur, if the market is in a long rally then I use a follow trend and if the market sideways then I sometimes do a counter trend.
