If compared directly, it is better to follow the trend, but both are actually relative and will never be finished if we discuss again.

In my opinion it's better to follow the trend because it's safer, but there are some traders who disagree about this because they have a counter trend style.

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?
Personally off course i choose follow the trend sir,,because we just retail trader and by following the trend we Will safe and got the profit

Following the trend is the best way for novice traders, because the counter trend will be difficult to get, it requires a proper analysis and good to know this position.

Traders who prioritize reiko management will definitely prefer to follow trends with a note that following trends follow major trends not only follow trends in low time frames.

Equally beneficial is my answer. To follow the trend we use it as a long term. For counter trend, we use it as scalping. Try it, focus on one pair to follow the trend. If there is a price correction scalping there. Of course, the open that follows the trend will still be held. That's the way to maximize trading with a follow or counter trend. But it all depends on our style, our comfort in the transaction. We recommend that you follow what makes you comfortable and of course profitable. I myself often enter at counter trends. Keep the spirit and happy trading.

I choose to follow the trend in a big trend and sometimes the counter trend in a small time frame but even though the counter trend I still apply MM well and see the big TF too ,.

I can not choose one of them because I often trade using both, sometimes I follow the trend, but also sometimes I counter trend depending on market conditions at that time.

I am clearly more ska follow trend and more recommend trading follow trend because it is clearly safer, but trading counter trend is also not wrong because it is also one of the profitable trading styles if it is suitable and well mastered.

I sometimes trade counter trends because I tend to be short-term traders but when I trade long-term I tend to follow trends.

I adhere to both, sometimes I use a follow trend strategy and sometimes I also use a counter trend because by chance my trading style is also a mixture of short-term and medium-term.

Follow a trend or do a counter trend, if I'm more into following the trend and make a TP and SL limits to a small level due to daily trading. During this time trading like that is safe and profitable.

We recommend choosing a style that you think matches what you feel is comfortable in your trading because that is what will become your style, related to trend ounter or follow trend, both are equally good and profitable, only we need to adjust.

Counter trends are more trusted by scalper traders although there are also scalpers who always enter if there is a trend in the direction of the main trend. I prefer to follow the trend because I tend to use the intraday style so it's more in the medium term.

Most traders think that follow trends are better and safer, but in my opinion the same, as long as traders know a good strategy then counter trends can also be safe and profitable.
