Left or Right-side Trading: Which Approach Do You Prefer?

Left-side trading refers to entering the market early, predicting changes before a trend is confirmed. Right-side trading, on the other hand, waits for the trend to be confirmed before making a move. This phenomenon often occurs in the stock market. For example, Tesla recently dropped to $217, with public sentiment claiming it was worthless and everyone waiting for it to go below $200. Tesla was largely ignored. However, two days ago, Tesla rebounded to $270, and people started buying again.
