# A Little Advice for Beginners
Beginners don't need to think about doing all kinds of directions; just follow the trend with simpler options, which are basically four types of entries:
In a downtrend — short at the upper boundary of the decline box and short on rebound.
In an uptrend — go long at the lower boundary of the rising box and buy on pullback.
Focus on one type and trade it; if there's an opportunity, take it, if not, rest and review past cases to see what phenomena usually accompany the same structure.
Over time, your win rate will only increase.
