🚨 ARE SHORTS NO LONGER WORKING? THE TRUTH ABOUT MY STRATEGY
I've seen a lot of comments lately, especially about taking longs in a weak market, so I want to explain my approach in more detail.
Let's start with the main question: has it become harder to make money with shorts over the past few months? Absolutely.
Markets change every six months. The rules evolve, liquidity moves, narratives rotate, and what worked perfectly a year ago can suddenly stop working.
But if you stubbornly refuse to adapt and spend all your time looking for arguments that support your existing beliefs, you'll eventually end up like the people who have been waiting years for an altseason that never comes - convinced they're right, but still not making money.
The goal isn't to be right.
The goal is to adapt and extract as much profit from the market as possible.
📍 If low-cap coins is in a downtrend, short them aggressively.
📍 If memes are exploding, learn how to trade liquidity and ride the meme coins.
📍 If some obvious scam coin is flying higher every day, learn how to long it. One successful long on a coin that moves 30%, 100%, or 200% can outperform dozens of traditional short trades.
That's exactly why I've expanded beyond shorts.
That doesn't mean I've abandoned shorts. I still short assets that look heavily overbought. But if coins like $INJ or $币安人生 keep flying higher, who am I to ignore an opportunity that's right in front of me?
That's why anyone who watches my streams or follows my trading chat has already seen a lot more long setups over the past months.
Shorts remain my preferred style overall. But that's not the point.
💡 The real lesson is this:
If you can adapt to changing market conditions, develop the skills needed to identify trends before everyone else starts talking about them, and stay flexible instead of emotionally attached to a single bias, you'll consistently outperform the vast majority of traders.
If you refuse to adapt, you'll always feel right.
👉 But feeling right and making money are not the same thing.
