Short-term trading experience:
In a condition where the market has risen by 10-15 points due to news and does not continue to surge, shorting at the current price and making 5 points is a high probability event.

If you stick to only trading in such conditions, making money shouldn't be difficult.

Most of us lose money in trading mainly because we can't control our hands, opening positions in any market condition, which lowers our win rate and breaks our mindset.
