Should you go with the flow—or against it? Both trend-following and counter-trend trading offer potentially profitable opportunities when executed with proper timing and context. In this webinar, we will explore the logic, risks, and advantages of both approaches. You’ll learn how to identify market conditions that favor each style, how to plan trades accordingly, and how to identify efficient tools to plan on such opportunities. With live examples using TradingView and trade execution on Interactive Brokers (TWS or IBKR Desktop), this session will help you decide when to ride the wave and when to fade it.
