Does anyone here trade strictly according to the trend?

I’ve noticed that when I align my trades with the broader market trend, decision-making becomes much clearer and risk feels more controlled. Counter-trend trades can work, but they demand precision and strong discipline.

I’m curious how others approach trend trading do you rely more on structure, moving averages, or pure price action?

I lean more toward structure and overall market direction rather than relying heavily on moving averages. If the higher timeframe is clearly trending, decision making becomes much cleaner. Counter trend trades can work, but they demand tighter control and better timing. For me, trading with the trend removes a lot of unnecessary stress. Fewer trades, but better clarity.
