The current market makes shorting a simple model, while going long is a hellish model.
However, there will still be many people who, after a drop, will go long thinking that after such a drop there should be a rebound. They go long directly, mainly because the bullish mindset is deeply ingrained in their minds. Even when shorting, they feel that if the position isn't right, they would rather go long than short.
I have a bit of a bullish mindset in my head, which has led me to play myself into a hellish model. There are many aspects to reflect on. Why, when the market is in this bad state, do I not go short? Clearly, I could be making money easily but am still playing events with low probabilities.
Today someone asked me if I still go long? Emm, I am just looking for certain opportunities. As I mentioned before, there are still large orders at the bottom. It’s still the same thing: as long as it doesn't break the 2800 position, I believe it's fine to gamble on a rebound in the short term. Either that or not operate at all and just wait for the market to recover.
