A pretty common question I get from those who watch my live trade videos’? “Hey Clay, do you ever buy and go long?”. It’s a fair question. Within my personal day trading strategy I do tend to “go short” quite a bit. For you longer time viewers, believe it or not, I do go long from time to time! But as you’ll see, the long sided trade I took only lasted for 29 seconds! haha! At the end of the day, you need to figure out what works best for you as a day trader. If you find yourself being more biased in the long or short direction, then fine. Day trading is very hard and the key relies on focusing on what is going to make the most sense for your logic and emotions. If you are constantly battling your emotions, you’re going to have lots of headaches. With that being said, variety is a good thing and as you’ll see here, I do have variety within my day trading strategies, including going long!
