There are times when momentum trading is profitable and times when it is not, so if you are going to do momentum trading, steel yourself for it.

Trend following is clearly divided into markets that increase and markets that do not increase

Markets have a direction, but they do not simply move monotonically toward that direction

In the end, they move while repeatedly correcting the market

So it is impossible to only “trade the market” during the “increasing period”

If that could be done with a high win rate

Then there would be no drawdown

The profit margin would be high, but the result would be poor and you would tend to end up breaking even unless you continuously hold profits

Because increasing is the right thing to do

If you want to increase with trend following, you pursue profits in the same way

If you decide to pursue it

In the end, you have to grasp the market in a one-sided (monotonic) way

Because the market tends to generate the most difficult conditions for trend following in a row

Such markets begin to prevail

If you are trend-following, you must overcome that chaos

After that, the market that yields profits comes

Moreover, it is a trend market with some retracements

Thus, unless you have a sharply specialized mindset for trend-following, it is difficult to continue holding

So if you are going to trade with trend-following

First, please steel yourself

Ultimately, what you do is “continue trend-following,” no matter what

To become someone who can do that

There is no choice but to continue specializing in trend-following

Continuing a trend-following specialized logic trade changes your market perception

Everyone looks at the market with algorithmic, automated-trading thinking

But no one can trade while remaining in that automated-trading mode

In the end, you either adopt a contrarian view or a trend-following view

And with a contrarian view, profits are secured

Then losses sift you out later

The trend-following mindset also involves doing the same thing

Ultimately, it is constant losses for the sake of eventual profits

However, once you gain that trend-following specialized market perspective

Profit will come, making it easier to recommend

But one thing I will say

If you practice trend-following, you will understand that such opportunities are

Really, really infrequent

Those who can do it are also limited

The more prominent the information that “trend-following is more advantageous” becomes

the more it persists in range markets

That is why a trading approach that only succeeds with trend-following cannot be created

That is why we translate it into a specialized trend-following approach

For the market to increase, it is better to know, both in mind and body, that trend-following and contrarian trading are distinct concepts

For your future market understanding
