Why you should NEVER go against the Trend

WHY you should Never Go Against the Trend

Ever tried running against a strong wind?

Feels like nature is personally telling you,

“Nope, not today!”

Well, that’s exactly what happens when you go against the trend in trading.

The market doesn’t care about opinions, stubbornness, or predictions.

It moves where it wants to move.

And if you fight it, you’ll find yourself exhausted, frustrated, and—most importantly—losing money.

Unless you have a STRICT reversal trading strategy or you have a fundamental trading strategy where you use the US Economic Calendar – then by all means go for it.

But if you’re trading on discretion, or trying to make a MAJOR market prediction and using it as your trading system – in the medium to long run – it most likely WON’T work in your favour.

So let’s go over why you should NEVER go against the trend.

Never Force a Trend 🚫

Some traders think they can outsmart the market.

They spot a trend and decide, “Nah, I know better,” placing trades in the opposite direction.

But here’s the harsh truth:

The market is not your friend—it’s a beast that doesn’t care what you think.

Trying to force a reversal when there’s no evidence of one is like trying to stop a speeding train with your bare hands.

Spoiler alert: You will lose.

A trend will continue until it gives clear signs of exhaustion.

Your job? Ride it, take some profits and GET out.

Don’t resist the trend – flow with it.

Adjust and Act 🔄

Smart traders don’t argue with the market—they adapt.

If price action is moving up, they find a way to profit from it.

If it’s heading down, they adjust their strategies accordingly.

There is a REASON why the market is rising or falling, and it’s our job to just react to it and act according to the trends.

It’s all about being fluid.

Think of it like surfing.

You can’t control the waves, but you can learn to ride them.

Instead of forcing trades based on what should happen, react to what is happening.

Adaptation is a trader’s strongest weapon.

The market rewards those who listen.

Flow with Momentum 🌊

Momentum is your best friend in trading.

When a market picks up speed, it tends to keep moving in that direction.

Why fight the energy when you can use it to your advantage?

Imagine pushing a boulder downhill.

Easy, right?

Now try rolling that same boulder uphill.

Use the tools you have – Gravity, momentum, push and angle.

Same with trading. Use what you have.

Trend lines, breakout patterns, safety and action lines.

That’s how to take advantage of market movements.

Never Predict – Follow Instead 🔮

One of the biggest mistakes traders make is thinking they can predict the future.

News flash: You can’t.

Markets are influenced by countless factors—economic reports, institutional investors, algorithms, influx of demand and supply, global events and what Elon Musk and Trump Tweets.

No one truly knows what will happen next.

Instead of gambling on guesses, follow the trend that’s already in motion.

The market leaves clues. Your job is to read them, not rewrite them.

FINAL WORDS

Going against the trend is like swimming upstream—you’ll waste energy, time, and capital. Instead, work with the market, not against it.

Never force a trend. The market doesn’t care about your opinion.
Adjust and act. Be flexible, not stubborn.
Flow with momentum. Don’t fight a strong move—ride it.
Never predict. React to what’s happening instead.

You have everything you need to ride the waves of the market.

So go out there and enjoy the ride,
