What is needed to profit by specializing in counter-trend trading is only the market environment
Trade in line with the market environment, that's all
But that's the part that's difficult
That is because there is always the thought that "it will come back."
Therefore, you should always consider this in conjunction with trend-following trading
You can normally cut your losses,
but afterward, whether it will come back or not is determined by the market
Ultimately it becomes an opportunity loss
So contrarian trading should be carried out in a way that adapts to the market environment
What makes that clear is ultimately price and time
Price is a support and resistance, but as I have stated many times in trading columns
Support and resistance is not actually functioning
Because it only works retrospectively
In the end, you’re choosing between whether the price will return or not
That binary choice applies to any way of thinking
Is it a trending market or a ranging market
Is it trend-following or counter-trend
There are many such binary choices like that
Contrarian trading is meant to adapt to such market conditions
Moreover
Contrarian trading is in a state similar to trend-following
If you’re going to trade contrarian, you should also consider whether you should trade trend-following at the same time, otherwise you won’t be able to continue handling it
