Where is the most tormenting part of a Bear Market? It's not the one-sided fall, but that kind of range-bound fluctuations.



Take SNX for example. After opening a short position, every time it suddenly rebounds, it makes people feel a jolt in their hearts—should I cut my losses? If I don't run now, will I get liquidated? This back-and-forth struggle is really hard to bear.

However, thinking from a different perspective, what if we use a grid strategy to short? Then this kind of up and down fluctuation becomes a good thing — the more frequent the volatility, the more profit the grid can capture. The same market situation, different methods, and the mindset is a completely different world.

Grid short orders are amazing. I used to hold onto short orders and was tormented by the rebounds until I was sick, but after switching to grid trading, I've been able to profit from the fluctuations. It's really a matter of changing my mindset to make money.

The bear market range-bound struggle is indeed the most torturous. I suffered this loss on SNX back in the day, with unrealized gains and unrealized losses on my short orders, almost had a heart attack a few times... The grid strategy sounds good, but I have to overcome the psychological shadow of frequent stop losses.

The bear market sawtooth trend is truly incredible, the short order mentality has completely collapsed. But the grid strategy is indeed comfortable, fluctuation is like a cash machine.

Grid trading is really the savior of this market situation, stop loss mentality collapse vs enjoying fluctuation dividends, two parallel worlds.

Grid short positions sound good, but it's still easy to lose your footing when actually executing them, especially with volatile assets like SNX.

The grid short order strategy is indeed amazing. I used to stubbornly hold SNX and got blown up by the rebound. Now I rely on fluctuation to make a living, and I no longer get nervous about stop loss.

The idea of grid short orders is pretty good, but you need enough capital, otherwise the grid won’t generate much... Coins like SNX are indeed highly volatile; just a couple of days ago, I almost caught a falling knife during the rebound.

Grid trading sounds good, but there aren't many that can withstand a few pullbacks, right?
