The core advantage of left-side trading is its strong stop-loss control. This time, there was a small error of 11 points at the bottom, and I set a 350-point stop-loss. This way, if I misjudge the direction, the loss can be kept within the expected range.

But the problem is also in front of us—markets don't always follow the usual patterns. Sometimes, the target price can't be reached at all, or the error widens to around 500 points. When faced with this situation, entering on the right side becomes a forced choice. The obvious cost: the stop-loss range expands accordingly, and once there's a loss, it becomes a bigger loss.

In actual operation, when the prediction is correct, everything goes smoothly. But once switching to the right-side entry mode, risk control must be tightened—no longer managing as loosely as on the left side.

Listening to the bottom-fishing tips on the left, but as soon as the market turns, it's start cutting losses...

The left side sounds good, but when the market moves in the opposite direction, that 350-point stop loss is simply not enough.

Setting a stop loss of 350 points on the left side sounds stable, but once a 500-point error occurs, it becomes awkward. This is what the market doesn't cooperate with. It's satisfying when predictions are correct, but when switching to the right side, you need to tighten risk control; otherwise, you'll suffer heavy losses. Market trends are such that no strategy can keep up with the changes. The rough management on the left side should have been changed long ago; entering on the right side requires precise execution, or else you'll lose frustrating money.

The set on the left sounds nice, but when the market really starts to fluctuate, you have to double down on all your stop losses...

A typical left-side survivor bias: when the prediction is correct, it's credited for risk control; when the prediction is wrong, the blame is shifted to the market.

The ceiling on the left side is like this; once the market becomes unpredictable, you're forced to take the right-side position. The moment you enlarge your stop-loss, your mindset collapses.

Setting a stop loss of 350 points on the left side sounds quite smooth, but once it expands to 500 points, it's an immediate gg. That spread really hurts.

Basically, left-side trading is the ideal scenario, but the market simply doesn't cooperate.

The set of theories on the left sounds great, but when the market opens and it suddenly runs in the opposite direction, it's shocking... --- A 350-point stop loss sounds stable, but in the market, it doesn't care about your plan at all. --- Being forced to take over on the right side, with stop losses doubling instantly—that's risk explosion. --- When predictions are accurate, it's exhilarating; but one mistake and you're wiped out. I give up. --- Rough management on the left, meticulous operation on the right—easy to say, deadly to implement. --- The core issue is—there's no perfect entry, only surviving to exit. --- A 500-point error, isn't that already beyond a small probability... --- Is there no middle ground? Must it be all or nothing?
