I missed the short position on foolish silver, but I didn't miss the Bitcoin decline; hold on to your position and pray, don't ride the roller coaster. TIPS: 1. During a downtrend, don't try to be clever by gambling on small rebounds, especially on lower timeframes. Less greed will lead to slightly higher profits. 2. Don't watch experts showing off their long and short positions so much that you start thinking you're a guru too. You don't know what is behind the trades they are displaying.
