Left-Side or Right-Side Trading: Buy More on Dips or on Rallies?

Left-side trading refers to trading against the main trend, such as buying during a downtrend or selling during an uptrend. Right-side trading, on the other hand, refers to trading in the direction of the main trend, such as going long when the trend is up or going short when the trend is down.

Each of these approaches reflects a different mindset towards trend-following or contrarian investment. Left-side trading refers to an investment approach where the investor buys during a downtrend or sells during an uptrend, positioning themselves against the prevailing market sentiment. It is often associated with contrarian investing, where the investor believes that the current trend is overextended and due for a reversal. A classic example of left-side trading is value investing, where investors look for companies trading below their intrinsic value due to temporary setbacks, broad market declines, or negative sentiment. This style requires patience and conviction, as the market may continue to move against the position before eventually correcting. Risk management is essential, as be

Boeing Strike: Opportunities and Risks for Investors

Overview:  The ongoing strike at Boeing $Boeing(BA)$   has created significant market implications, with more than 30,000 union workers walking off the job, demanding higher wages and an improved pension. As Boeing's stock fell 3.7% on Friday, the broader market remains concerned about the potential long-term effects on Boeing’s financial stability, which has already been weakened by a $60 billion debt burden. While the strike poses risks for Boeing, it also presents opportunities for strategic investors to capitalize on market volatility. Aerospace Industry Under Pressure:  Boeing's stock has plunged nearly 40% year-to-date, reducing its market value by approximately $58 billion. The strike adds f

First time I heard about left and right side trading. [LOL]   Usually the terms I am aware of is momentum trading and value investing. Trend following or contrarian investing.  In order not to mix up the directions, I will just comment in terms of momentum trading and contrarian trading.  Momentum trading focuses on identifying new trends early and ride the trend for as long as possible until hit set targets or before reversal of trends.  Contrarian trading focus is on identifying Reversal patterns, usually after bull runs or bearish plunges. Then trying to plan early start to new trend or have additional buffer.  Personally, over the years I realised that trend following doesn't suit my style.  Trend following can't start early without clear signals

I am closely monitoring the stock price of Designer Brands today as I believe it is a company with strong potential for growth. While short-term fluctuations in stock price are always a factor, I am confident that Designer Brands has the foundation and strategy to deliver long-term value for shareholders.

The Pros and Cons of Left Side Trading versus Right Side Trading

🌟🌟🌟The word "Trading" implies the frequent buying and selling of stocks.  I prefer to use the word "Investing" rather than trading as I am more of a Buy and Hold kind of person. That said, to me Left Side Trading implies "Contrarian Investing". This refers to a strategy that looks for profit opportunities in trades that go against the current market sentiment.  For example, if the market is Bullish, the contrarian investor is Bearish and will look for opportunities to sell. A recent example is my tactical trade by using $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$  Last week, SOXL was down 25% but this week SOXL was up 9.5%.  I bought SOXL last week when it was Bearish and this w
The Pros and Cons of Left Side Trading versus Right Side Trading
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  I do both dip buying and also averaging up as the stock price rallies. For dip buying, i look at the chart and determine a few price levels i want to enter at. These tranches will have a fixed investment amount eg $1000 then $2000 then $4000, increasing as the price goes lower. In a stock i like with a clear uptrend, i buy when the price retraces to the 20EMA. In a bearish price trend, I prefer buying in at support levels and at the 200SMA. I do not set stop loss order as these are stocks and companies or ETFs that i intend to hold for many years For averaging up in a rally, i look at where the price breaks out of a consolidation pattern on big volume and buy in with half my investment amount, then when it retests th

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ share price is now around USD 118.93, riding on the hope that it may reach USD130 this round. Left-side trading or Right-side trading on NVDA are both useful strategies. To buy or sell the stock depends on the volatility and direction of the market at the time of trade. It is important to do research and exercise due diligence before making trading decisions.

Personally, I practiced both left-side and right-side trading strategy. Actually it depends on the market trends and situations. LEFT for bottoming and RIGHT for uptrend. Left-side trading involves entering positions during market bottoming, allowing you to benefit from early-stage recoveries and potentially higher returns as the market turns upward. This approach often provides opportunities to buy undervalued assets and capitalize on contrarian positions. Right-side trading, on the other hand, focuses on aligning with established uptrends, offering reduced risk of reversal and more consistent, predictable gains. By riding the trend, you leverage market momentum for steadier returns and greater confidence in your trades. Both strategies have their benefits: left-side trading aims for ear
sometimes need both left and right side trading. combinations of 2 strategies are needed to be effective. @Shyon @GoodLife99 @Universe宇宙 @rL @HelenJanet @SPACE ROCKET @TigerGPT @Aqa @koolgal @LMSunshine What’s your trading strategy: left-s

Regardless of whether you choose to invest for the longer term or just want to make a short term play, the key is to take action before it’s too late. some market watchers have warned that if the Fed does not cut rates fast enough, the Fed may be too late to prevent a recession. If the Fed cut rates fast enough, the S-REITs will transition of growth where they would see higher revenue, lower interest expenses and higher valuations. This would also allow them to carry out acquisitions to further boost DPU growth.Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust and ESR-LOGOS REIT are two REITs that can be viewed as shorter term speculative plays, as investors lean towards smaller logistics/industrial plays. These REITS have shown some resilience, with low-teens to high single-digits DPU declin
better use both hands. can buy during dips at support, or buy during a trend reversal when you see a bullish candlestick pattern. just don't buy at the top.
