Trading isn't about picking a side—it's about capitalizing on every movement the market throws at you. Whether price is rallying or tanking, there's always a way to profit if you know how to position yourself.

The real trap most traders fall into? Getting married to a single direction. You're long-only, bearish forever, whatever. That tunnel vision cuts your potential gains roughly in half. Why? Because you're literally ignoring half the market opportunities that show up every single day.

Both pumps and dumps create edges. The trick is staying flexible enough to hunt them.
