There are actually only two trading modes:
The first, trend trading.
Once the direction is clear, hold patiently.
The second, swing trading.
Profit from fluctuations within the range, but the direction must not be random.
Truly stable traders
won't switch between going long and going short.
If it's bullish, it's bullish,
if it's bearish, it's bearish.
When unsure, it's better not to trade.
Following the trend to earn 100 points
is much easier than betting against the trend for 200 points.
