Sometimes we send a signal…
…and then a few days later, we send one in the opposite direction.
No, we haven’t lost the plot.
This is by design — and it’s part of how swing trading really works.
Let’s break it down.
Yes, We Send Opposite-Direction Signals
If you’ve been with us a while, you’ve seen it before:
- A long on UNIUSDT earlier in the week
- A short on UNIUSDT two days later
We do send opposing signals. And no, it’s not a mistake.
They’re separate trades, based on different setups.
The reason is simple: markets change fast — and we adapt.
These aren’t scalp trades that fight each other in the same zone.
They’re swing entries with different logic, different invalidation, and often different timeframes behind them.
Two Ways to Handle Opposing Signals
When that happens, there are two paths.
Both are valid — depending on how you manage your own portfolio.
Option 1: Keep Both Open
If your first signal is still valid (hasn’t hit SL or TP), you can keep it open.
Then enter the second signal in the opposite direction as a new trade.
This works because:
- The trades have their own entry/SL/TP
- We rarely overlap targets or stops
- They’re not canceling each other out — they’re independent setups
You’re essentially running a hedged swing book, which some clients prefer.
It gives the system more room to play out without forcing early exits.
Option 2: Close the Old, Enter the New
This is what we usually do on our end.
When a new opposing signal comes, and the logic behind the first is no longer valid, we close the original one and enter the new.
Why?
Because we believe in clarity over chaos.
We don’t want to emotionally hold a position that’s lost momentum.
We want to be on the right side of the next move, not stuck in the last one.
But again — both styles are valid.
Some of our clients mirror us exactly — they close when we close.
Others prefer to manage positions separately — and that’s completely fine too.
Why This Isn’t Flip-Flopping
We don’t trade with a crystal ball.
We trade with data, structure, and price action.
Sometimes that means shifting bias when the market does.
If a short setup invalidates and a clean long appears — we take it.
If UNI breaks structure and reclaims a level — we pivot.
It’s not flip-flopping. It’s following flow.
And staying profitable means we follow flow over pride, always.
TL;DR
- We do send opposite-direction signals sometimes
- You can either:
- Keep both trades open (if they don’t conflict)
- Or close the old one and take the new (we often do this)
- There’s no single “right” way — follow your system
- Our signals are built to adapt, not predict
The market doesn’t care about our ego.
So we leave it at the door and stay in sync with the move.
