A while ago, a fan hit a nerve with one sentence—“If all you can do is go long, what kind of trader are you?” It really stung at the time. Later, I saw a well-known figure in the industry say that one-way traders are basically amateurs. I have to agree with that.

If you don’t know something, just learn it—there’s nothing shameful about that. Whether it’s shorting or hedging, as long as you’re willing to put in the work, there’s no strategy you can’t master. The market doesn’t cater to anyone, but it also won’t let down those who genuinely want to improve.
