Most experienced traders know this, but it still catches them out and frightens the wits out of rookie traders, and that it that an aggressive move against the prevailing trend is more often than not the very best place to jump in on a move, with minimal risk if the timing is right. The problem with this is that because of our inbuilt fight or fright mechanism, this sudden, often violent move will frighten many traders away from taking a trade at the very moment when they are being presented with a golden moment to buy or sell. So next time you are itching to get into a move, and the price suddenly moves violently in the opposite direction for no apparent reason, get ready to strike, because if it is a fake, the move back into the prevailing direction will often be as violent as the counter move as traders around the world, recognizing the fake for what it was, jump into the market.
