We buy in an uptrend. We could buy the breakout from a sideways consolidation phase, we
could buy the declines within an uptrend but in an uptrend, in anticipation of a certain level, we NEVER NEVER SHORT. The mind
must be educated to understand that one does not short in an uptrend.
We short in a downtrend (plz, I know that certain things are not possible in the Indian mkts, obviously one can do only what one is
allowed to do. One could short using derivatives, or stay out and wait for an uptrend).In a downtrend, we get a sideways
consolidation phase, we short the breakdown. We could also short a rally within that downtrend. When we get a rally in a downtrend,
we could capitalise on that move on a smaller time frame by going long. But in that larger time frame, we are looking to SHORT. We
are not looking to guess bottoms, we are not looking to anticipate certain areas from where we are going to bounce upwards, we
SHORT every rally ina downtrend till that downtrend no more is one and we get a Trend Reversal to the Upside.
