When trading short-term contracts (such as intraday trading), is the direction or the position important?

These two points are the key points of intraday trading. If you do any one of them well, you can slightly ignore the other one.

For example: when the general trend is very clear, that is, when the direction is clear, the position is not so important for intraday trading. Anyway, it is done in the general direction. Even if the entry point is not good, it is okay if the order is slightly trapped. The market can still make a profit.

Another example is that the ability to select positions is particularly strong, and you can accurately find the support and pressure positions and find the K-line pattern that confirms the reversal. At this time, the general direction is not so important. Intraday trading does not require much profit space. If the market does not reverse at the key position of the day, a callback is enough to stop profit.

For today's question, if both the direction and the position can be done well, it will be icing on the cake, but if you can't grasp both points, you can also achieve profit if you can grasp any of them. Don't be too entangled.
