Trend vs. Reversal trading - page 2

 
Pimpinela:
Following the trend is useless since it change change the very next minute. Reversal is much better but with a catch, only when you're off the regression line, you choose your system: standard deviation, channel lines, etc... the further you're from support/resistance the easiest the win is since the price always like to revert to it's mean.

If the trend can change the very next minute, does that not mean that the reversal can also change the very next minute ? 

 
Yes, you replied while i was still finishing my reply :-P Re-read now please.
 
Both are equally risky if you don't know what you are doing. But both are equally profitable if you know what you are doing. Opinion of traders are limited to what they have experienced so far, so each one takes side which they believe is true.
