Do you prefer left-side or right-side trading?
Today, I'll share my understanding; in trading, the buying direction is divided into two: left-side and right-side, with completely different mindsets. Simply put: left-side means entering a trade before the trend confirmation or reversal is seen, possibly because the valuation has reached a low point or based on a feeling that the decline has bottomed out; right-side is the opposite, entering a trade after the trend confirmation or reversal is observed. Left-side is predictive thinking, right-side is follow-the-trend thinking.
So which is better, left-side or right-side? I believe there is no standard answer; each has pros and cons, mainly depending on how one uses them.
The advantage of left-side is that if you buy correctly, your cost will be relatively low; if you buy incorrectly, you might buy halfway up the slope, bearing the cost of trial and error. You always want to buy cheap, but if you keep trying to catch the bottom without seeing a significant rebound, it can make you question everything and cause mental anguish and collapse. So I call left-side trading an art.
Right-side trading is different: you enter after a signal appears, so this kind of suffering doesn't happen because the right-side signal means the market trend has already changed. However, right-side trading has its cost: when the right-side signal appears, the price is definitely not at the lowest point, so the buying cost is relatively higher. There's also the problem of false right-side signals, which is frustrating. Therefore, the best buying point should be proven by the most objective facts and probabilities, not guessed. In trading, don't always try to buy at the lowest; instead, patiently wait for the market to prove the lowest point is indeed the lowest before considering entering a trade. Even better, don't always think about getting a bargain; true trend leaders or hot spots can offer you an ultra-low or lowest price.
So, try to participate in trends or reversals rather than purely left-side thinking, which greatly improves success rates and reduces trial and error costs. Use your advantage of having a small boat (trial capital) that can turn quickly; don't compete with institutions on cost but on patience. Also, don't claim to be value investing to cover up failed bottom-fishing after being trapped. Wrong is wrong; the market has no right or wrong, only what is correct. The big market continues to fluctuate, and altcoins go up and down. $BSB $LAB

Here are some practical tips and profit rules.
1: What type of assets to trade in the crypto space?
Answer: Trade crypto contracts. Why? Because even those who truly understand blockchain don’t really know the true value of coins, but contracts at least have been verified and have stable trading volume, so there are contracts (at least they’re not too deceptive), plus contracts have unique leverage.
2: What kind of contracts to buy?
Answer: I’ve summarized three strategies. Profit rule 1: stake out one contract, similar to buying trending stocks in A-shares. Find the asset that is about to rally, with volume expansion on the daily K-line and then stabilizing at a high level. Then use a volume contraction pullback to enter with a set stop loss. Leverage should be configured between 5-15X and buy gradually. I’m talking about human nature—those who run at a slight rise or short when it looks high are exploited by us on leading contracts.
3: Short selling. Be cautious with shorting because crypto markets often drop together. If you don’t master shorting skills, better not play that day. Shorting is rule 2, the opposite approach, but remember to be quick—take profits and exit fast, don’t hold too long.
These are the three methods; now some precautions: The first is best done after a big drop, closely watch hot assets and repeatedly go long; the second is to always watch BTC—if BTC is stable, repeatedly trading the leader is stable; the third is to avoid shorting unless absolutely necessary. Going from 1 to 100 is a 100x gain, but from 100 to 1 you can only make 99% profit, so try to go long as much as possible.
Currently, the trend looks pessimistic, repeatedly testing the bottom. If it breaks through, it will be a major crash, and altcoins won’t be spared. I’m still watching and waiting for a fast drop market. $BTC

When you truly understand the meaning of "waiting" in trading, you will realize that many losses are self-inflicted and have nothing to do with the market. Novice traders are always searching for various shortcuts, while veterans only practice consistent waiting; in fact, some things are destined to be unattainable. Many traders with weak discipline resort to desperate measures, trying to find a trade that doubles immediately after buying, but often when this happens, it's already wrong. That's why I always emphasize "reviewing trades." Reviewing trades helps you better understand your trading style. When things are destined to develop a certain way, what you do can also be done by others—it's just probability. Want to think more clearly? What you think is a doubling opportunity is often just a coincidental point. In trading, the variables in the market are far more numerous than those in everyday life, and opportunities are much more abundant than in life. This means that if you want to find opportunities, there are plenty, but many people forget their past successes. For example, 312, 519, 1011—the timing, environment, and objective conditions at those moments. Since everything develops as destined, especially in this market, think carefully: what you need to learn is the meaning of "waiting." This also reflects real-life experience applied to personal trading awareness. Waiting is not just passive waiting: it involves clear goals, plans, execution... When you truly understand this, the only problem you need to solve is to establish a clear and executable standard, and that’s it. Learning to wait means the person truly understands timing in trading, is realistic, and naturally will experience less anxiety in trading. You will find that trading should actually be done this way—it’s just like that, always has been. The fear and anxiety in your mindset will naturally disappear or lessen. When there’s no market movement, just chat a bit. Wishing all new and old friends lots of profits and big earnings!
