I've long been thinking about what a trend really is. The question that has been bothering every trader for many years also concerns me. When you look up the definition in regular sources, it says something about "the general movement of development," but that's just empty words.

In reality, it's simpler. According to the theory of true Yin and true Yang, a trend is the movement after these key points are formed. After true Yang comes an upward trend, after true Yin—a downward trend. That's the whole logic. But most people trade based on unclear trends, not even understanding the basics.

I remember when a well-known analyst started sharing this theory—he was flooded with criticism. People attack strangers just like that, without reason, even if he's trying to help. A funny character trait. If you have objections—express a specific opinion, show that you understand. Silence and attack are not arguments.

When you understand what a trend is in the correct sense, it becomes clear: the main thing is to wait for true Yin and Yang signals. Short positions on true Yin, long positions on true Yang, intermediate holdings—and that's all. Patience solves everything. I’ve seen real trader portfolios worth 300k—those who follow this principle show consistent results.
