Left-side Trading & Right-side Trading👊

Using price turning points as the dividing line, the core difference is the timing of bottom-fishing or top-selling.
1. Left-side Trading
Enter early before the trend reverses, betting on "bottoming out/peaking"
1. Bottom-fishing on the left side: The price is still falling, buy before it stops falling, buy more as it drops
2. Top-selling on the left side: The price is still rising, sell before it peaks, sell more as it rises
• Characteristics: Low entry point, low cost, but prone to buying during a "downtrend continuation," short-term being trapped, testing patience and position control.
• Suitable for: Experienced traders, those who can withstand volatility, and those with a phased position addition strategy.
2. Right-side Trading
Enter after the trend clearly reverses, catching the "confirmed trend"
1. Bottom-fishing on the right side: The price stops falling and begins to rebound, buy after the upward trend is established
2. Top-selling on the right side: The price stalls and begins to fall back, sell after the downward trend is established
• Characteristics: Higher safety, higher win rate, less deep trapping, but the buy/sell points are not as ideal as the left side, resulting in slightly less profit.
• Suitable for: Most ordinary traders, trend-following traders.
One-sentence summary
• Left side: Predict the turning point, act early (highly speculative)
• Right side: Confirm the trend, act in accordance with it (more stable)
Simple example (during a falling market)
• Buying gold as it drops from 4460 yuan to 4420 yuan = left-side bottom-fishing
• Buying gold after it stabilizes at 4460 yuan and rebounds to 4490 yuan to confirm the rise = right-side bottom-fishing
