Are you bear or bull?

Guys I was analyzing my transactions since I began trading and discovered that I am a bear .85% of my trades are bearish ones. However I like to play on currency deppreciation rather than appreciation (for example if EUR/USD goes up and USD/CHF goes down so however I prefer to enter at USD/CHF) What about you?

in my mechanical trading i am completely neutral. with the fundies, i TRY very hard to be neutral, but i find myself being a bull. even on my short bond position, i am betting FOR the US. the reason i think is because i feel more strongly that something (a country, a stock) will do good. i guess the optimism makes me all excited and gives me more conviction for the trade.

sounds like we would make a good team

wait a minute...if EURUSD goes up and USDCHF goes down, that is dollar bearish in both instances.

are you saying you would rather play the USDCHF becuase it is physical going down on chart? if so, you are not only a bear, but you favor being short as well. LOL! thats pretty extreme man

Yes, but if my English skills do not disturb me

Yes however I like bearish candles on my screen I do not know why but I feel more comfortable with falling prices.

it does kind of look like the price can fall easier than it rises. there may be some truth to that. see this thread...

presented an idea that prices fall "faster" than they rise.

What obstacles do you experience when trading with bears?

Probably if you look at the statistics for a certain period of time in more detail, you will be able to identify this pattern, but I don't think it's so potential, because in fact you can freely earn on the same asset if you follow the price from level to level, from drop to rise, etc. Although maybe for someone this approach is fundamental and allows you to better navigate the market. In general, it is interesting to think whether one can consider that a person trades aggressively if he prefers to earn on a sharp rise in the price of an asset or not. In general, each time my decision is based on the current situation and I do not have a rule for the likeness that I earn only on the growth of the dollar and completely ignore its drawdown. Anyway, I went to study my statistics.

Controlling your emotions becomes a lil problematic for me while trading in bears.
