A trending market is essentially a place to extend profits, not an entry timing.

During trending markets, even if you pick entry points

they are not optimal entry timings

In the end, it becomes the “head and tail” theory

The merit of trend-following is

to generate stop losses excursively in range markets, while

in trend markets, to brilliantly carry out that revenge performance

Nevertheless, to grow profits in trend markets

they unnecessarily apply filters to prevent stop losses in range markets

and miss the places where profits could grow, which is a waste

Also, from that perspective,

it becomes the “body and tail” theory

but in reality you end up exiting at the “body and body”

Because if you enter at the body portion

the profit-taking location inevitably remains a weak point

In other words, overall, you end up taking profits in a very shallow area

Even though trend markets are still developing, you end up taking profits at the body

This happens precisely because you don’t want to enter with the head

When using the head and tail theory for trend-following

your resolve and nature change suddenly

You start thinking about extending profits

which becomes a strengths as a trend-following strategy

Markets are basically changing, so people tend to think it’s difficult, but

The more you become well-versed in trending markets

If you proceed with trend-following plus profit-extension strategies

you'll realize that the end of a trend market is surprisingly easy to identify with careful consideration

Trend-following is fundamentally about extending profits

I still believe the head and tail theory is correct
