Yesterday was more like a movie as I began to reflect on the days when I did not understand capital markets - The time I would have given up on myself and not known the power of understanding how to trade the capital markets.
Sadly the capital markets are very hard to understand but with a lot of patience, you will know them
Today I want to show you how to short sell. And to show you that
You don't need to fear short-selling its just that I prefer to accumulate not distribute
If you are a beginner you may not understand this but as a trader, you have to choose
One side...think of short sellers like the away team, and long buyers as the home team
In order to play the capital markets you have to choose your team and stick to it
Because this will give you a better understanding of the capital markets
Now look at this price action the price is overbought meaning there are a lot
Of sellers, because the stock of the product is too much hence they have to sell at
a discount price. Because of this, the buyer is forced to buy insurance on his losses
to cover the cost of inventory does this make sense?
You are selling insurance to the buyer so that he can cover his cost to buy more inventory
inventory is an expense so the buyer is not making a cash profit on this trade
instead, he is making a loss with the plan to sell the inventory at a higher price in the future
to cover this loss.You on the other hand as a short seller you are making cash profit
Because your insurance contract price has increased
Look again at this chart EURUSD the price on the stochastic RSI is overbought
That means the buyer has to much inventory and he needs to
insure it against damage.
Your role as a short seller is to sell him insurance.
Explaining short selling can be a challenge but to cut the long story "short"
You are selling insurance on the inventory that the buyer holds.
If you short-sell this Forex pair remember to not use more
than x5 margin and take at least 20% profit.
Also note that this week is the unemployment rate UNRATE will be announced in the news on friday
Which in my opinion is a huge catalyst for this currency pair EURUSD Trade safe
full disclosure am not participating in this trade.
Also this chart reminds me of the rocket booster strategy from the short side:
1.Price has to be below the 50 SMA
2.Price has to be below the 200 SMA
3.Price should gap down.
