do you trade against the trend?

[catchpips]

i hear people saying that they trade with the trend and the trend is your friend. that when it's a down trend, they sell. When it's a up trend, they buy. Isn't there money being made as it ranges back and forth?

[babasegi]

No. l trade with trend I follow and follow it but I usually use orderflow tools to know market sentiment and follow it

 

[ticktraveller]

Of course, we all do that eventually as normal human behavior. To pick the bottom and top as if we could

Yes, range trading is a strategy traders use when there is no clear trend apart from sideways movement. It's a pretty simple concept, identify key levels of support and resistance and buy when prices reach support and sell when they reach resistanc:

It depends. not always, what about you in the forum?

A range period in H1 consists of uptrend and downtrend periods in a lower timeframe, i.e. M5 or M1. Trading there, you may have more chances to trade by the trend, respecting of course the H1 S/R levels, where the trend may change direction.
