Recently, I have been contemplating a trading approach and would like to hear if it might be feasible. The core logic is as follows: use right-side trading to grasp entry timing, which means waiting for the price to confirm an upward trend before entering, thereby avoiding many pitfalls of left-side bottom fishing. Then, on the profit-taking side, reverse the approach and use left-side thinking by setting targets in advance at key resistance levels, and planning risk-reward ratios based on support and resistance.

In theory, this combination of the certainty of right-side entry and the precision of left-side profit-taking should improve win rates. However, in actual practice, it’s still easy to get caught in traps, mainly because the market rhythm is not yet mastered. So I would like to ask if there are any senior traders who have specialized in and deeply studied right-side trading techniques, and can share some practical experience? Especially on how to accurately judge in highly volatile markets. I want to truly break through the current bottleneck by systematically learning and improving my trading methods.

actually, let me break this down... the core problem isn't your entry/exit framework, ceteris paribus it sounds reasonable on paper. but here's the thing – you're treating support/resistance as static when they're actually dynamic equilibrium points, right? in traditional economics we'd call this a "zone of indifference," not a line.

This set of logic sounds good, but the key is execution... Entering on the right side sounds stable, but in reality, it's still easy to chase the high. To put it simply, during high volatility, you can't judge at all; it all feels like false breakouts. Perfect theory but poor practical implementation, I'm stuck here too. The biggest fear of right-side trading is FOMO mentality. Once you miss out, you'll chase, and chasing will get you trapped. Setting take profit at resistance levels is indeed clever, but the problem is that the market doesn't follow your plan at all haha. Rather than worrying about left or right, it's better to first understand your own risk tolerance. Getting trapped is 90% predetermined before entering the market. During high volatility, you simply can't see the trend clearly. Not acting at this time might be the right answer.

That's what they say, but when the market fluctuates, there's really no time to think about right or left side. Being trapped is mostly a mindset issue; no matter how perfect the technique is, it can't withstand black swan events. In high volatility, forget about precision—it's just a game of probabilities.

To be honest, the right-left combination sounds good, but in actual trading, it's a different story. Everyone has experienced being trapped, the key is whether you truly understand the market’s temperament. Trying to make precise judgments in high volatility? Uh... that’s extremely difficult. Theory will never beat reality, everyone. Setting a take-profit and then the market moves directly in the opposite direction—such awkward situations happen often. Instead of waiting for veterans to give advice, it's better to watch more candlestick charts to learn something. Breaking through bottlenecks sounds easy, but in reality, you have to pay some tuition fees.

This idea sounds good, but let's look at the data—actually, the time difference between entering on the right side and taking profit on the left side can eat up a lot of profit margins, especially in high volatility markets. An interesting finding is that many people's "being trapped" issue isn't really about the technical itself, but about not strictly executing stop-losses. No matter how precise your target is, if your retracement rules are vague, it's all useless. From an engineering perspective, I suggest parameterizing this logic—clearly define the trigger conditions for each step, don't rely on intuition. Theoretically, there's no problem, but in practical operation, it depends on whether you can endure the uncertainty in the middle. Here's a misconception: the take-profit level doesn't necessarily have to be at a resistance level. Sometimes, the rhythm of proactive take-profit is more important than the position. By the way, have you backtested with historical data? Otherwise, it's all just castles in the air. The biggest pitfall of right-side trading is the chasing mentality—entering the market confirmed but too late, that's the real trap.
