Investment Research Insights: Understanding the Differences Between Left-Side Trading and Right-Side Trading
Trading is divided into left-side and right-side; all blind trades, all ambushes, and all bottom-catching operations are regarded as left-side trading. Right-side trading occurs when the market starts moving and confirms an upward trend.
Chasing prices belongs to the right side, while cutting losses belongs to the left side; see detailed interpretation below.
1. Core Philosophy and Timing of Intervention:
Left-side trading (Left-Side Trading / Contrarian Trading)
Philosophy: predicting that the trend will soon reverse, buying during a price decline (before the end of an upward trend) or before the bottom pattern is fully confirmed; selling during a price increase (before the end of a downward trend) or before the top pattern is fully confirmed.
