check this chart
https://www.tradingview.com/x/WD4Gu5iR/

as u can see xrp was on a rally and then start to go down

my problem with trading is that i tend to trade against the trend

as u can see the overall trend is bullish as the daily chart is still in an uptrend
but it look like it can go lower from here

my question is, if i want to be a daytrader, wich trend should i go for?

i like to trade in the 4hr, i dont use indicator since they use past price as their calculation, i trade pure price action

in that chart for example i would go long if u ask me, since its been bullish for the past 20 days, i would wait for it to hit a support then wait for a good entry, its what i have been doing latetly without luck, dont get me wrong im profitable since my risk management allow me to lose like 3 or 4 trades and make it up in just one trade, but almost  all time i have to hit 3 or 4 lose before getting it right

You said it yourself. It is a sort of gamble. At least in my experience. I know there are experienced traders that make a lot of money. They claim to use indicators, but no indicator can protect you from some sudden changes. So, I don't think they make money consistently too.
