Following the trend... vs counter-trend trades

i agree with "trend  is your friend" for sure.

however, i also am a proponent of taking trades
whenever risk:reward is merited, EVEN IF they are counter-trend.

what's wrong with taking a short position and taking a 2% loss if you're wrong? so what@!

if you go long in an uptrend, you can still lose 2% or 5%

a trade is a trade

i'm not advocating trying to pick a top...BUT i also like to sell greed

and the market is showing signs of ridiculous greed

so during this time, i'm taking both long and short positions

it works....the profits far exceed the losses

just another counter-opinion fwiw
