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

  When trading Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ or other stocks, I adopt a mixed approach that combines both left-side and right-side trading, depending on the market trend. 

  During a downtrend, I prefer to be a left-side trader, identifying potential bottoms before the broader market recognizes them. This requires a contrarian mindset and the ability to endure short-term volatility, as catching a falling knife is never easy. However, I believe that when a stock like Tesla experiences excessive pessimism and irrational selling, it often presents an opportunity for long-term gains. By entering early, I position myself ahead of the crowd, capitalizing on the eventual recovery once selling pressure fades.

  On the other hand, during an uptrend, I shift towards right-side trading, waiting for confirmation before making additional moves. Momentum plays a crucial role in stock movements, and once a stock establishes a bullish trend, it tends to attract more institutional and retail interest. Instead of chasing uncertain bottoms, I let the trend validate itself and then ride the wave upward. In Tesla's case, if it surpasses key resistance levels and shows sustained strength, I might add to my position or hold for further gains. This approach helps me avoid unnecessary risks while maximizing returns during strong rallies.

  Currently, Tesla has already corrected significantly in the first quarter, and the conditions are aligning for a potential rebound. The impact of CTA buying, along with the possibility of a Gamma Squeeze, suggests that the stock could continue rising past $285. While I took a left-side approach during the decline, I now recognize that momentum has shifted, and I will adjust accordingly. As an investor, my strategy is flexible—combining contrarian entries in bearish phases with trend-following in bullish ones—to optimize my returns while managing risks effectively.

  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.

  Some say the next few trading days are likely to see a Gamma Squeeze effect, with $285 potentially not being the end of this rally.

  How do you view?

  Which approach do you take for trading Tesla or other stocks?

  I don’t trade or invest in Telsa.
  
  
  But I m a long term investor for SG market. Nobody is able to predict the trend of the stocks. For me, once I have the money to “burn”, I will just go in and “conquer”. Of course, I will do my TA and then will do my cost per each unit before I q my price for the stock. Sometimes, the downtrend price movement is so fast that I don’t have sufficient time to pull out my queue. I will end up like panda 🐼🐼. . This was what happened to me last month with $Mapletree Ind Tr(ME8U.SI)$. Black eyes for both cash & SRS. But now I have the final laugh 😂🤭 to the bank.
  
  
  Anyway, this month yet to SG stocks hunting as my mind is still floating after 2 weeks vacation and attended charity appreciation dinner last night.

  I am a right-side trader. For example, the HK market has been dropping in the last 4 years. In this market, I won’t be a left side trader as the lows can get even lower and I don’t want to be catching a falling knife. So, I prefer to be wait for the trend to reverse before entering or to enter when there is some sign of a rally. For US stocks and SREITS, I prefer to enter when my target price is reached as I tend to invest in these for the longer term. However, I may swing to become a left-side trader during earnings season. I might try to get ahead of a rally if I expect the company to be able to meet or exceed expectations. This is risky, so it has to be stock that I believe in the longer term prospects and the entering price has to be reasonable.

  Left or Right-side trading depending on the technical analysis and macroeconomics at time of investment. Capital preservation and risk management is key. It is most important to Invest in stocks that we know and understand. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is suitable for trend trading. Remember to always do due diligence before each trade.
