Interesting as the saying dont fight the trend seems to be a rule amongst traders.

On the other hand, I am a countertrend trader majority of the time mainly because I seek responsive buying/selling.

Shaun Downey, author of Trading Time, describes responsive buying/selling as: "Long-term traders dictate the end of the trend by withdrawing initiative activity, taking profits or establishing countertrend positions. They also dictate when the reaction to a trend has been completed."

That being said, I use a combination of S&R with MP and volume for countertrend trades but take profits swiftly with somewhat fixed targets in mind.
