Re: Counter Trend Trading?
Have you asked yourself what is trend trading?

Once you do then I'm sure that you know what is counter trend trading.

Unless that wasn't your question???

You have to understand what is meant by a trend. Google and you will find many websites that discuss what a trend is and how to determine if a trend is in place. Then you can trade with or against (counter trend) the trend.

You'd rather have hamburger at a higher price than steak.

Re: Counter Trend Trading?
It means understanding trend well enough to trade both directions. With the trend and against the trend.
