📈📉 My painful $5,400 futures losses taught me: fighting the trend is retail suicide. We can't absorb countertrend whipsaws. Trend following aligns you with market momentum, boosting probabilities and managing risk. Don't fight; flow with it.
Spotting trends: an uptrend shows clear higher highs & higher lows, price consistently above 20/50 EMA. Downtrend is lower highs & lows, price below those MAs. The golden rule: ONLY long in uptrends, ONLY short in downtrends. Forget guessing reversals!
Example: BTC hits $82,000, pulls to $79,500, then $85,000 – that's a clear higher high/low. Wait for a pullback to the 20 EMA around $81,000 for a long entry. Set your stop loss just below $79,000, target $87,000. This discipline saved my capital after my costly mistakes.
