A strategy that simply follows the trend somewhat, rather than a thoroughly contrarian approach, can be increased more.

In books that are commonly described as market aphorisms

(especially older highly regarded trading books)

they declare a contemplative system, but

deliberate contrarian approaches

are inferior to strategies that simply follow the trend

because the market proves it

when you look at the market, the trend clearly has the upper hand

yet real markets are full of noise

to act according to the depiction of past markets

it is inevitably necessary to "continue following the trend"

continuing contrarian strategies is not validated

contrarian strategies are a wonderful way to increase capital in the short term, but

they are disadvantageous in the long-term market

because in a trending market, only stop-losses continue until the trend occurs

it easily leads to a feeling of "gambling"

and thoughts drift away from being investment-minded

even so, those who endure the mental strain

and continue, can meet a trending market

and successfully grow capital by continuing to profit

there is an obvious premise that "if you just follow the trend you will win,"

yet many traders do not because the preceding drawbacks mentally wear them down

however, with the mental resilience to overcome that,

those who casually keep following the trend can become renowned as traders
