Your trading strategy

It is not enough to know which trend prevails on the market. You need to learn how to determine the moment when it is more profitable to open/close a position because the difference in several minutes can mean the difference between a winner or a loser. For example, if the price moves in the direction of the prevailing uptrend and it will be a rebound shortly but you decide to open a long position then you will get a loss when the rebound starts. Your forecast is accurate but the timing is not right. You choose incorrect entry point and the market moves in the expected direction without you.
