Last night on Tradoor, I suffered a big loss, going long directly resulted in a failure, and the lesson was deeply engraved.

I was full of confidence when placing the order, still analyzing double tops and triple tops patterns. Turns out, when dealing with coins that are in sideways consolidation, any candlestick theory is just talk on paper. Once you keep chasing longs, you'll fall into endless oscillations—either a sudden plunge or a sudden surge, with no third option.

I have a buddy who got caught here. He only invested 10U to go long on Tradoor, but he refused to believe in luck, kept adding margin to hold on, and finally lost over 100U before cutting losses.

Looking at it from the short side, I always focus on the most explosive coins like MYX, COAI, and similar(. The conclusion is: going long wins temporarily, but shorting is the long-term strategy. After this wave, I finally understand—I'll never touch long positions on sideways coins again.
