Short selling is not about who is the most ruthless, but about who can run the fastest. You can short in advance and profit from the main downtrend; you can short a little later and confirm the direction before following; or you can even add to your position like a madman to average down your costs in a losing position.
None of these are fatal. What is truly fatal is: you don’t know when to exit.
Many people think that short selling relies on accurately predicting the top, but true experts know that:
Short selling has never been about hitting the highest point, but about escaping cleanly before a margin call.
A market reversal only needs a single pin, and if risk control is not done well, no amount of judgment will help.
So the question arises: how do you judge whether to withdraw or not? What signals must be taken seriously?
It's not convenient to go into too much detail here; those who understand will naturally understand. If you want to avoid years of detours, come ask me.
