In looking at the market trend, there are two categories of traders playing in it. Some choose to become trend followers and some play as trend counters. Although there is no definite answer to determine which one is better, here we will examine more deeply the two traders' flows.
Which do you think is better, follow the trend or counter trend?
for me it is clearly better to follow the trend.
because there will not be a big loss if the trend is corrected.

but will get a big profit if the trend finds a high breakout point.

if I depend on the current price position, but following the trend, more guarantees to achieve profit with the note that the price is still far from the price of support and resistance from the previous price. against the trend can also achieve profit if you have reached the highest or lowest price than before, use stop losses if you fight the trend so you don't get dragged too far from the open price

In my opinion trend market is 3,,major trend,minor trend and sideways.we have to follow the trend but dont forget the major trend..just like the gbpusd rightnow trend is up but this is the minor trens or correction and will be comeback to major trend where is bearish.but when we are trading you dont have to always follow the major trend and if setup says correction we have to follow the minor trend

Obviously follow trends are better because they guarantee security in trading

Against the trend is very dangerous, can get losses quickly. 
As a trader must choose the safe way by following the trend conditions.

A trend is a friend so following the trend is better than fighting it.

in my opinion it's relative if the trading style is short-term because the trend in the short term is weak, if the long-term style is better to follow the trend.
