One of the most serious challenges faced by many Traders is the incapability to short the stock/index. They are fighting with this problem for years.

By nature, equity is a long-only Market but the trader should learn & use the shorting skills for his successful trading career.
If you trust your chart on the buy-side then you should not hesitate to honor the same set up for the shorts side. should work right?

Yes, a sudden sharp reversal may give you pain, but in a major crackdown or in a sharp sell-off it can also give the quick and good profit.
Its always imp to manage long/short ratios in every type of market. e.g. 70-30, it’s even more important to have some shorts against the portfolio/hedge against the long side trade in a bull market.

No one knows if the next day market opens 200 points up or 200 points down.
Shorts in the bull market works like Army at the border, U don’t need them to fight every day but they are very imp for the country, when war comes they are the ones who take care of us.

Shorts work in the same way u will find not useful but when market unwind it will rescue U.
If you really scared of shorting start with Put or Put spread, then move to index future shorts, & finally when U got edge start with future short with a long call.

if U really cant short then when you buy future buy 1 ATR away put protection to protect yourself going bankrupt.
