Lesson 19 of 25
What fighting the trend costs
Counter-trend shorts into an uptrend are exactly the stops the next push uses.
What you see
- Repeatedly shorting the same rising level.
- Each stop-out slightly higher.
Why it happens
- You are supplying the liquidity, not using it.
How to trade it
- If you must counter-trend, wait for a real structure break first.
Journal it: Add up your counter-trend P&L for the month. Read it honestly.
