"The trend is your friend, until the bend at the end."
You are the purest right-side trader. You don't try to catch falling knives or short parabolic tops. You wait for the trend to clearly establish itself, and then you simply join the ride. Price action is your only truth.
You never miss a massive sustained move. Your methodology is universal and stress-free during trending environments.
Chop city. In a ranging, sideways market, your breakout and trend-following signals will constantly trigger false entries, resulting in painful whipsaws.
Choppy Range Whipsaws & False Breakouts. Entering on high-timeframe breakouts during low-volume Asian/lunch sessions produces multiple consecutive false break stop-outs.
Only enter pullbacks within established London/New York session momentum. Use multi-timeframe confirmation (15m market structure with 1m execution trigger) and avoid chasing extended candle closes.
