Shorting is really too difficult.
The most basic aspect of shorting is that you need to keep an eye on the market and dedicate a lot of attention to it. But I can't keep up.
The only entry point for shorting is to wait for the right side or the secondary high to appear, commonly known as the 'dead cat bounce.'
$sats—no matter how much you have, it's never enough to cover the losses.
So, shorting can only be done with small positions. Large positions are like walking a tightrope.
But dedicating a lot of attention while using such small positions means you can only roll over positions to achieve significant profits.
Rolling over positions is entirely up to fate. It depends on the market-making style and strategy of the whales, as well as short-term sentiment and the big players' sudden moves. It's completely like licking blood off the edge of a knife.
I've already seen three 'perfect' shorting opportunities, but none of them have made me money in practice.
The more you understand, the more fearful you become.
