follow the trend? Buy dips sell rallys?

What are yours?

well a simple thing to do that will save ur ass is to do either this or that, cuz if u try to pick n choose when to trend follow or when to buy on dips ull end up with the worse of both. so simplify and do one or the other, it wont work every trade but over all u should come out ahead

I like to buy Bollinger Band breakouts.

I counter-trend, too. Would love to diversify with the trend-following strategies, but can't find anything near with the same risk-adjusted returns as the counter-trend strategies.
