Trading is similar: if price is flowing up, buying is easier. If price is flowing down, selling is easier. If price is flowing sideways, waiting is smarter.
You don't fight the river. You follow it.
Trying to trade against a strong trend is like trying to swim upstream — possible, but exhausting and risky.
Trading with the trend is like floating downstream — smoother, calmer, safer.
