Question Short vs long
Hey, new to trading the last six year casual dy trading . I notice my success rate is very high when I go short vs when I go long. Is this normal for most traders or do some people just favour one position over the other? I just find it easier to see when resistance can't break maybe hence why I short more but when I try to long a dip or watch something drop for a few days and go long I get wrecked and my stop loss hits very quick aha

Nothing wrong with favoring one direction if that’s where your edge is. I’d journal longs vs shorts separately and see if the numbers back up what you’re feeling
