It is important to operate in the markets in favor of the trends
Hello friends of Project HOPE, I hope you all have a great Sunday, and that this week that is just ending has been very beneficial for each of you.
Today I want to share some ideas based on my experience in trading and based on things that have happened this week. That even though I closed my week in losses, few, but losses, I can't say that at an experience level it was losses, because I learned some interesting things.
When we trade in the financial markets, we know that it is exciting and can potentially be very lucrative, but it also carries significant risks. One of the strategies that I consider key to minimizing these risks and maximizing profit opportunities is trading in favor of market trends.
Trends in financial markets refer to the *general direction+ in which asset prices move over a specific period of time, at a macro level, because there are always pullbacks. These trends can be bullish (when prices rise), bearish (when prices fall) or sideways (when prices remain within a narrow range). Identifying and trading in favor of these trends can be essential to achieving trading success, and it was something that became abundantly clear to me this week.
Trading in favor of trends has several advantages. Firstly, following the direction of the market increases the chances of success, as we align ourselves with the dominant force of the market. This means we are riding market momentum rather than fighting it, which can result in more successful and profitable trades.
For example, this week I had three losing trades because I did not stick to the trend, but instead tried to take advantage of the setbacks, which did not occur at the entry points I thought I would. But, once I was able to catch a good entry in favor of the trend I almost recovered the entire loss of 3 trades with a single trade.
This has been my main learning this week. That although setbacks can be operated, we must reduce the risk, to prevent the greater trend from being the one that wins the game, and we end up losing more than what we gained in the previous days.
Therefore, trading in favor of trends can help us reduce risk by minimizing the chances of entering into trades that go against the direction of the market. By trading in the same direction as the trend, we are in tune with the overall market sentiment and can avoid getting caught up in wild moves or sudden changes in price direction.
But, it's also important to keep in mind that trends don't last forever. It is essential to use technical tools and analysis to identify when a trend is losing strength or is about to reverse. Also, and it is something very important for me, to pay close attention to macroeconomic news, even war news, because it can cause the trend to reverse from one moment to the next.
