Left or Right-side Trading: Which Approach Do You Prefer for Tesla?
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, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ recently dropped to $217, with public sentiment claiming it was worthless and everyone waiting for it to go below $200. However, two days ago, Tesla rebounded to $270, and people started buying again.
This situation is driven by the characteristics of left-side and right-side trading.
Left-side traders possess the contrarian ability to buy the dip before a trend is established. However, many people, especially beginners, are unable to predict market changes in advance and may struggle with the psychological pressure of catching falling knives.
Therefore, right-side traders prefer to wait for market stability and buy Tesla after it has bottomed out.
Tesla is also a typical stock suited for trend trading.
In the first three months of this year, Tesla has already experienced a 40% drop and correction. This decline was influenced by CTA selling, but these factors will soon turn into support for a strong rally in Tesla at the end of March. The CTA buying drove Tesla's strong rise, and it even surpassed the resistance at $285.
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.

交易特斯拉时$特斯拉(TSLA)$
在下跌趋势期间，我更喜欢成为左侧交易者，在大盘识别潜在底部之前识别它们。这需要逆向思维和承受短期波动的能力，因为接住落下的刀从来都不容易。然而，我认为，当特斯拉这样的股票经历过度悲观和非理性抛售时，往往会出现长期上涨的机会。通过提前入场，我将自己定位在人群的前面，一旦抛售压力消退，就可以利用最终的复苏。
另一方面，在上升趋势期间，我转向右侧交易，等待确认后再采取进一步行动。动量在股票走势中起着至关重要的作用，一旦股票建立看涨趋势，它往往会吸引更多机构和散户的兴趣。我没有追逐不确定的底部，而是让趋势自我验证，然后乘势向上。就特斯拉而言，如果它超过关键阻力位并表现出持续的强势，我可能会增加头寸或持有以进一步上涨。这种方法帮助我避免不必要的风险，同时在强劲反弹期间最大化回报。
目前，特斯拉在第一季度已经大幅回调，潜在反弹的条件正在调整。CTA购买的影响以及伽马挤压的可能性表明该股可能会继续上涨至285美元以上。虽然我在下跌期间采取了左侧策略，但我现在认识到势头已经发生了变化，我将相应地进行调整。作为一名投资者，我的策略很灵活——将看跌阶段的逆向入场与看涨阶段的趋势跟踪相结合——以优化我的回报，同时有效管理风险。

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 🐼🐼. [Happy][LOL][Chuckle]. 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 😂🤭[Chuckle][Grin][LOL][Happy] 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'm more of a risk-managed trend follower, preferring to enter trades with some level of confirmation, especially in volatile stocks like Tesla. I’d typically avoid trying to pick exact bottoms or tops unless I have strong technical or fundamental reasons to do so.
However, depending on the market environment or specific stock, I might use a contrarian approach selectively for stocks that I believe are undervalued or oversold, but I'd generally wait for more signals of market recovery before committing substantial capital.
Ultimately, Tesla’s price movements seem to align more with momentum traders and option traders who thrive on volatility. The right-side trading strategy might give me more comfort with its lower risk, but for those who are willing to take on more risk and have the skills to read early market signals, left-side trading offers significant upside potential.
Left-Side Trading:
• Approach: Left-side trading involves entering e market before a trend is confirmed, oftenbuying when a stock is experiencing a dip or downturn, anticipating a reversal before the majority of emarket catches on. Thisrequires a high level ofconviction & ability to withstand psychologicalpressure, as catching "falling knives" can result in significant losses if e trend continues downward.
• Advantages: e potential for large profits if e reversal happens & you're in early. This strategy often appeals to more contrarian investors who believe e market overreacts.
• Risks: It can be very risky, especially for beginners, timing the market perfectly is incredibly difficult. Additionally, entering 2 early can lead to bigger losses if e stock continues to decline.
