First things first ... In short selling, you want more buyers than sellers, more overhead supply. You’re looking for potential disaster areas for longs. You’re not really looking at financials. And you want to look at more than just the candlesticks...

Look for that trend change, but also look at the filings. You can find dilution — that’s where a company takes freshly minted shares and dumps them onto retail traders. What does this really cause? More sellers. So when that first red day comes, there should be a lot more selling than buying.

I don’t trade EVERY single first red day. Less is better.

Once you start making profits, it can be all too easy to fall into the wrong mindset — the gambler mindset. You may find yourself wanting to hit again and again, wanting to trade multiple stocks, wanting to make MORE.

And that's why so many fail. You have to approach it like a professional, not like it’s just some deal you can get in on the action. The wrong mindset can mentally handicap you. Not only because you lose your money, but you also don't know where your consistency lies.

It's not about the frequency of your wins, it's about the frequency of not losing. So narrow it down. Focus on what you know. Track every trade and find what works.

And you have to learn to check your emotions. Keep your goals modest. Stick to your trading plans. If you truly want to escape the 9–5 grind, don’t try to chase profit after profit. If you’re a morning trader, walk away in the afternoon … and vice versa.

If you’re trading for the incredible freedom it can offer, you have to be disciplined. Piece the full puzzle together and be a detective. That’s one way you can find consistency and what’s working for you.

Most of my trading now is shorting Biotechs that pop and sometimes but not often another sector stock. I look for a downward history (1 year or so), Check news. I'm all ears if there are any other suggestions.
