### SHORT

The engine will only open and accumulate positions to the **downside**.&#x20;

I use the SHORT mode when I know the **price will be going down**, and I want to open a position on the short liquidations and take profit on the long liquidations

### LONG/SHORT

The engine will open and accumulate positions **both to the upside and to the downside**.&#x20;

I use the LONG/SHORT mode when I know the **price will be ranging**, and I want to **open a position on the short liquidations and take profit on the long liquidations, then reopen a position on the long liquidations, and take profit on short liquidations (like ping pong)**

### LONG

The engine will only open and accumulate positions to the **upside**.&#x20;

I use the LONG mode when I know the **price will be going** **up**, and I want to open a position on the long liquidations and take profit on the short liquidations
