{quote} Many books advocate taking only these trend trades. Do you take these often, and do you see any change in success rate? Thank you.
i do not trade the trend often, as i have been so focused on counter trend, i've had a hard time getting into trend trades and am solely focused on developing them at the moment...
in terms of change in success rate, not sure exactly what you mean - if trading the trend in general, then success may not necessarily be higher than counter trend, however, profits may be significantly greater...
the success rate of this particular setup for trading a trend is second to none - this moved down 40+ pips before reaching ema200 again - all the signs of a strong downtrend according to KoF are in this snapshot! best of luck to you...

M1 AUD countertrend scalps - targeting the range...
as the downtrend stalls and enters sideways, short off a recent resistance level and double top targeting previous support levels
price was undecided until it broke higher up to a less recent resistance level where the second short was taken, given the recent downtrend there was no intention of reversing
the resistance level held after one final push up and broke through ema200 into targets! not long after the downtrend continued...

M1 AUD countertrend scalps - playing it safe!
entered long on support levels after strong push down was preceded by a higher high, the push down was stronger than expected so one final order was placed on the break of support and then waited for reaction,
a new support level developed and price started a return to ema200
price then breaks through and holds above the resistance of the ema's turning them into support pushing price
right back up into ema200 and breaking its resistance and then into my targets!

M1 AUD countertrend scalps - entering on resistance, exiting on support!
i am not even close to being a master yczzd, but i appreciate your sentiment and kind words...
identifying support and resistance is just a matter of seeing where price changes direction and it's a LOT easier to see if you zoom out your chart as much as possible - my screenshot does contain two indicators - a set of EMA's on the main chart and a tick volume histogram with an EMA overlay in the sub window - they are the only indicators i use secondary to price action...
{quote} Dear Master niks, your skills are so impressive. You are my idol. I would like to ask a question, how do you identify support and resistance levels, and use any indicators? I didn't find it in your screenshot. Thank you very much. Your fans

M1 GBP countertrend scalps - against the flow!
entered four orders long on support and after ema9 overextension as in previous trade, support failed to hold so entered two more orders in case of false breakout, which it turned out to be as price began to trend up
the seventh order was taken expecting the ema's to act as support, which failed so made a final order on another ema9 overextension
closed the last two orders after a higher high formed, and then as a higher low formed, closed out the rest at resistance!
