It wasn't until recently that I realized that instead of shorting traditional commodities like gold and silver, it's better to focus my energy on trading strategies in cryptocurrencies.

Honestly, the price fluctuations of precious metals are relatively mild, and the profit potential from shorting is limited, but risk management is just as complicated. On the other hand, shorting coins in the crypto market, although more volatile, offers higher market efficiency and liquidity, making stop-loss and take-profit executions more straightforward.

The key issue is mindset—shorting traditional commodities can easily lead to fatigue because of the long profit cycles. But crypto markets move quickly and react swiftly, allowing you to see the effects of your strategies more clearly, which greatly helps traders' learning curves.

In the future, the focus should be on studying the shorting mechanisms and market structures in the crypto space, rather than chasing the traditional financial models again.
